Ex-Stereophonics Star Stuart Cable Died Of 'Vodka Diet'


To lose weight on a vodka diet had been tried by Ex-Stereophonics Star Stuart Cable and he died because of it.

In Aberdare, South Wales at his home he died last year in June after choking on his own vomit. A post-mortem said he was five times over the drink-drive limit.

Think Before You Drink,campaign has been launched by Rachel Jones, 33,which is hoping to get stronger warnings on spirit bottles.

She told the Metro Cable had been trying to lose weight ahead of a tour with his new band.

“The guys were getting gig fit,” Jones said. “There are diets that say a vodka is better than half a lager because it is lower in calories but spirits are so strong people don’t realise what they are doing to them.”

Cable was one of the original members of Stereophonics, but was sacked in 2003.
