Never miss whisky news, reviews, and new releases again.

The world-renowned football player Neymar is once again under fire following intense allegations about his private life. Allegedly, he's addicted to the drink of gods and energy drink, but the 33-year-old star denies everything. In fact, he's stoking the fire with more... energy drink.

FAQ

Does Neymar drink whisky?
Neymar might be known for his football and his parties, but there's no official sources linking him to a specific whisky preference.

Is there a whisky named after Neymar?
No, there isn't (yet) an official "Neymar whisky", though such a special edition would likely be popular with fans.

What kind of whisky would suit Neymar?
Perhaps something playful and lively, like a fruity Speyside whisky - energetic, just like his playing style.

Going Through the Allegations

Journalist Rodolfo Gomes tweeted out that Neymar might be addicted to whisky and energy drinks, a regular hookah smoker, and only goes to bed around 4 to 5am.

These are serious allegations levied against Neymar. Additionally, he implied that this lifestyle negatively affects the performance and dynamics within Santos, the Brazilian football club where Neymar currently plays.

According to him, Neymar might not play this season due to injury susceptibility, and he sometimes prioritizes rest over training.

Neymar's Reaction: Denial and Legal Rebuttals

The forward emphatically denies these accusations.

In response to the controversy, Neymar posted on Instagram a picture of an energy drink with the caption: "ADDICTED to Red Bull. This one is great."

With this, he seems to be responding to the allegations in a sarcastic manner.

Sources familiar with the case state that legal measures will be taken to hold all involved parties accountable.

Implications for Career and Reputation?

For a player like Neymar, such accusations can have far-reaching consequences, both in terms of sports performance and image. Moreover, this is not the first time the player has come under fire. In 2019, a woman accused the footballer of rape, which Neymar has always denied.

Brazilian whisky?

On to whisky: does something like Brazilian whisky exist? While they label Natu Nobilis as an 'blended whisky' officially, it can't be called whisky. The ironic joke is that its alcohol content is 39%. There are likely some artisan distilleries, but it's not something well-known in the Netherlands.
