Usain Bolt’s fast becoming a regular bar hopper
London LiteUpdated 13:32pm on 10 Sep 2009
He may be the world's fastest sprinter — but double world record-holder Usain Bolt is getting a reputation as a marathon drinker.
Quick drink: Usain Bolt and a friend last night
The 23-year-old Jamaican hit London's clubbing scene for the second time this week — choosing Mayfair's Whisky Mist nightclub last night with a few pals in tow.
Our spy told us: “When Usain arrived he was brought straight through to the VIP room, where he was taken to his table. He was treated to bottles of Grey Goose vodka, which Usain and his friends were clearly pleased with.”
After a while, word spread that Usain was in the club — eventually reaching the ears of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.
Our source continued: “Didier went over to say hello to Usain and soon after joined his table. “Usain was clearly making the most of his night out, and at one point he decided to pop into the DJ booth and select a few songs — including Big Pimpin' by Jay-Z.
“Everyone was surrounding his table and trying to get a glimpse of him, but he was really pleasant to anyone who approached him for a chat or an autograph.”
On Monday night, Usain went to Alto club in Soho, where he spent the evening with fellow speed freak Lewis Hamilton and JLS singer Marvin Humes.
On that occasion he was treated to two magnum bottles of Dom Pérignon and a magnum bottle of vodka.
Sounds like the guy can run up a bar tab in world-record time.

Yes! He can celebrate, but beware his life is not his own anymore he is now the public's property. As easily as they cheer you on, they will demean you. Also save your cash(wear & tare on the body) Pleanty glitzies are there to help you spend it; Friends you never knew that you had. Remain focused and conscious many have fallen through high rolling. Hey! your moment of glory!

I hope he has his head on his shouders firmly and not let the liquor get the better of him. Have fun but with moderation. Never ever over do.

We wear shades in the dark becuz we can and becuz we own one. Once it is a good pair wherein you can see clearly in the dark - no prob. Mind you own business fool and do your own thing. Leave people alone.

Can anyone tell me why people wear SUNglasses at night? and who is that silly woman with Usain who obviously believes she's a star who needs to hide her eyes from the cameras. One more thing, Usain if you're reading this. Stay away from the blonde/brunette/fake tan/miniskirt high heel wearing women that frequent nightclubs looking for an eligible wealthy man. They're nasty!
