Every December 31st we all come up with ways to improve our lives over the next 12 months. However the resolve to get fit, stop biting our nails and eat healthier usually falls by the wayside come January 2.
One star who stuck to his 2010 New Year's Resolution is Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor.
"I quit drinking this year," he tells Kerrang!. "I've quit in the past, but this year it's more for me than it was the first time. There's a permanence to this one. I looked at shit and asked myself, 'What am I holding on to? Am I drinking just because I can, or because it's a celebration, or is it because I'm scared to death of my own mortality?'. I couldn't come up with a good answer for any of those questions, so I decided to call it a day. Having done that, it's better for my marriage, it's better for my health, it's better for being on the road."
Now that he's teetotal, how will Taylor be celebrating come midnight?
"I'll drinking a Coke," he says. "But it won't be a Diet Coke, it'll be a real Coke. And I'll be sure to plant a kiss on my wife, too!"
