In halcyon days, I was vaguely aware of Weston Cage as a death-metal singer and the son of Nicolas. Things got really crazy, really fast in the summer of 2011. Within the space of two months, 20-year-old Weston went off the rails. He flew into a physical rage after his personal trainer told him not to eat something on a restaurant menu. He beat up the trainer and ended up cuffed, strapped to a gurney, and carted off to the hospital on a 5150 psychiatric hold. A month later Weston and his then-wife, Nikki Williams, were jailed on domestic violence charges, and Weston went back a second time. Then he showed off his kung-fu moves for the paps outside a steakhouse.
Before long, Weston divorced Nikki and teased a reality program with his mom, Christina Fulton. He wanted to “show the world he’s not mentally ill.” The show never happened, thank goodness. Weston disappeared from public view as quickly as he appeared.
Weston is back. I’m trying to figure out what he’s plugging with a new People interview. His IMDb profile reveals a few movies on the way. Weston is now estranged from Mom. He married Danielle Cage in 2013; they have a 7-month-old son, Lucian Augustus. Weston says all his previous problems were due to alcohol. Liquid tons of alcohol:
His alcoholism: “Alcohol became a nightmare.” He was drinking up to “30 beers, one box of wine and half a bottle of something hard” mixed with pills in one day, and his friends and family “thought I was digging my grave,” he says. And so did he. Landing in the hospital one night in 2012 after going through withdrawal (“It felt like someone was suffocating me, and every light in me was flickering on and off,” he recalls), he was telling loved ones where to scatter his ashes.
Danielle inspired his “cold turkey” sobriety: “I fell in love instantaneously. I was surrounded by very toxic people and was just tired of being polluted. Danielle was pure.”
The joy of fatherhood: “When he laughs and smiles for me, it makes me so happy. He’s saved my life. It’s just a very joyous time right now. I used to imagine [my life like this] to make me feel better and get the inner wounds to coagulate.The fact that it’s real now is beyond a blessing.”

30 beers per day plus a box of wine, some hard liquor, and pills. Is that even possible? He’d literally have to drink from sunup to sundown and long after. If Weston’s telling the truth, then it’s easy to see why he acted so bizarrely. Is he exaggerating? I don’t know. Weston says his mom was always a problem, and he “dreaded every moment with her,” turning to alcohol to “fill an abyss.” That’s terribly sad.
Just for kicks, here’s a replay of Weston’s crazy roundhouse kicking for the paps. I know he’s in a better place now, but these photos will always bring me joy.

He gives me too many shades of ex-boyfriend douche past.
Glad he’s happy and healthy, if true. Hope his son doesn’t ever feel the pain he obviously felt to get so low.
I was thinking the same thing. He reminds me of a particular ex that I lived with for a year. I don’t know how I survived that insanity and I don’t know if he has or not. Smh
Uhhh, nevermind. Well, but…no, never mind.
If Weston was drinking that much, his liver must be a mess. Also looking at those photos Weston, smokes as well. Let’s hope he has decided to truly clean up his act for the sake of his son and wife.
Reminds me of university days. Cheap alcohol and parties galore
can you actually drink so much liquid? you can die from drinking too much water,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication
so how is it possible to drink so much alcohol?
Exactly what I was thinking. I can’t imagine how many times he had to pee everyday.
It can be done.Trust me.I use to drink forty beers a day and I am a girl.Men can drink a lot more.
Some men can. My ex couldn’t. I could drink him under the table but he had a lower tolerance than I have and he’s a foot taller than me. Not that I’m proud of it. Both of us have long since given up the stuff.
Water intoxication deaths occur because of over hydration, alcohol dehydrates you so that isn’t an issue. Sadly yes it is possible to drink that much. I have a relative who does and it’s utterly miserable to watch.
Ask to Trent Reznor during his alcoholic/ coke period.It was 30 beers and a bottle of vodka per day
Wow. As a hardcore NIN fan back in the day, I didn’t know that. Was this downward spiral or earlier?
HE’S LYING. I’ve been an alcoholic and daily drinker for 20 years and I smelled a rat as soon as I read it. I found a BAC calculator online and assuming 30 beers, 20 glasses of wine (google tells me a box is 16-24 IDK I used to use a 7-11 cup, so averaged it), and half a bottle at about 12 oz. IDK how tall, but SO and I estimated by that pic that he’s maybe 220. We gave him some extra leeway for the hell of it and just put in 24 hours. His BAC would be about .664. Like I said, I drink a lot and I’ve been to the ER with the beginnings of nasty withdrawal symptoms and blown a BAC higher than I care to admit, so I know his tolerance is higher than average…but still, if a .664 alone (and no way he was drinking a full 24 hours) didn’t kill him in a day, mixing it with a bunch of pills certainly would.
I believe him. I grew up with an alcoholic, and yes it is absolutely possible to drink that much. Please dont get caught up in a game of “im a better drunk”. You have value as a person, and need to ask for help. Not for anyone in your life, but for you. You are worth the effort.
+1
I believe him too. Been there, seen it. It’s possible. Alcoholism is a progressive disease and there’s no telling when he started. My dad was an alcoholic by the age of 13. He was easily drinking a case of beer a day in his early twenties when I was a kid. His last DUI, his BAC was so high, he should have been dead.
I hope this guy is getting some outside help. Cold Turkey via your new love for another rarely works longterm. Sad if his mother really is toxic, but I always had the impression from earlier statements that she was worried about some mental issues with him. Perhaps he didn’t want to be labeled, or doesn’t want to take meds. Thus he shuns his mothers interference.
Having worked in a legal prosecution office for over ten years, I have seen BAC’s so high that I’ve wondered how that person is not dead. It can happen. For real.
Yeah, my s/o is a doctor and you would not believe the amount of some of the chronic alcohlics she sees are putting away, like multiple bottles of liquor level which seems about equal to that amount of beer/ wine, and that’s just what they’re willing to admit to their doctor so who really knows. Agreed as well on that I really hope he’s getting some help beyond this new love, because if that ends messily he’ll probably be right back in the same place again.
A box of wine is probably about a bottle’s worth, depending on the size of the box. But definitely not 20 glasses in 1 box.
You assume he just woke up one day and decided to drink that much which was abbiously not the case. It took him month, if not years to build that kind of tolerance, same as with those people who end up on the list of highest BAC recorded (much higher that the one your estimateds give). They’d actually get terrible, possibly deadly even withdrawal symptoms if their BAC dropped to a level that would be considered deadly for most… body adapts.
abbiously, oh dear. And I’m not even drinking
Yes I believe him too.
I’m a nurse in emergency and our machine can only allow you to blow up to 0.5 (any higher you need to do bloods to get a true read on their blood alcohol).
I’ve seen people walk in and blow a 0.5+ They are walking and talking, sometimes driving and definitely being a menace!!
Sorry but you are wrong. I know someone who drinks at least this much per day.
Rehab center called and they want you asap for a looong time.
I get scared when I look at him. He looks like a devil worshiper
It seems like an exaggerated amount, but you would be surprised how many drinks an alcoholic can pack away, especially when you start when you wake up and keep going.
I hope this sticks- but any time a man says he was “saved” by a “pure” woman, I think ” run got the hills, girl!'”. Good luck to him and the Fam- know his liver is grateful.
Tig…Exactly! He has already been arrested on at least two domestic violence charges. Right now, he is happy. People don’t stay happy all the time. Life happens! The question is, how will he handle things when problems come up, when life isn’t the paradise he is living in right now. I believe, his wife should be on guard…A leapord doesn’t change his spots overnight!
Um.damn!! God, he sounds like he went through hell. And I hate to say it, but he will need help for a along time. I hope he can do it, for himself and the sake of his kids. Having two parents like that…sigh. On the other hand, that last pic of him getting some serious loft was priceless. Good luck, you flying gossamer angel.
Blame the mother. Easy target.
Word.
On a grander scale, I know of people in their late 20’s/early 30’s who think they are invisible who drink heavily on weekends and think since they don’t during the week, it is okay and nothing bad will happen to them. This constant binge-drinking and drinking culture in general is what is crazy. I have a few drinks here and there, but I don’t feel the need to drink every weekend. Some people seem to think they can’t have fun without a drink and in that case, I find that very sad.
Those karate kick pictures!!!! I’m dying! LOLOLOL!!!!
He sounds happy and that’s nice. I wish him well. Let’s hope he was only an a hole while under the influence.
I dated a guy who drank 24-7 (I didn’t know it at the start but eventually I found out along with his family). He always had a metal sport/water bottle with him and was filling it with vodka or gin and a Monster drink all day long. He then had beer or mix drinks during the day that he was sneaking. After going to four bars after work where he had two drinks at each (so nobody at one place could say they saw him have more than two drinks) he then opened a bottle of wine AT BEDTIME, filled a large mug (think of the kind you make a root beer float in) and went to sleep. Whenever he woke up or rolled over he’d drink from it so by morning the bottle was done. Then he’d have coffee, fill the metal bottle with liquor and Monster and start again. He was never NOT drinking alcohol we all eventually learned.
He tried to cut back to only a “few mix drinks a day” and he went into heavy withdrawl. He went to the doctor and was told he needed to be hospitalized in order to detox because he was in danger of having seizures. He checked himself out and kept on going which is when we lost touch.
He died in his sleep at age 37 a few months later.
So yes, I think a person can drink as much as this guy claims.
I’ve always feared an ex boyfriend of mine will end up dead like this. 🙁
All I can think of is how he must have needed to pee. A lot! And, maybe, he, like Gerard Depardieu, took a little, nap, then a slurp of rose, and he was fresh as a daisy.
He looks like a big guy. I’m getting shady ex vibes too- my ex could drink constantly and at times seemed almost sober which he convinced me was due to his size, tolerance etc… of course I later learned he was snorting coke too and was just constantly under the influence. Aside from the obvious money issues, dude was exhausting to be around. Never shut up, waving every extremity to say2 words. He never did round house kicks but it would not have surprised me.
30 beers per day plus a box of wine, some hard liquor, and pills. Is that even possible?
Yes. I can’t say for sure on the pills, but the alcohol? Yes. I’m a little surprised it’s only “some” hard liquor tbh.
