Pump Rules Tom Sandoval Celebrates Sobriety, How Long?

Tom Sandoval is known to love his Coors Light beer plus he has a whiskey with his best friend, Tom Schwartz. The two even promoted their Toms’ Good Lovin’ Rye Whiskey at different events for a period of time. Additionally, Sandoval was a long-time bartender at both Villa Blanca and then SUR. He is also a co-owner of restaurant lounges TomTom and Schwartz and Sandy’s where he cultivated the cocktails with Schwartz. So, alcohol has been a mainstay in his life. However, his life has been a mess for the past two months.

In early March, news broke that Tom Sandoval was having an affair with his close friend and Vanderpump Rules co-star, Raquel Leviss. This ended his nine-year relationship with their other cast mate, Ariana Madix, and caused fans to lash out. Furthermore, most of the cast went to Ariana’s side and abandoned Tom’s ship. It was messy all around but now, according to TMZ, Tom is declaring that he has been officially sober for a month. What prompted him to make this lifestyle change, especially on tour? During his Westbury Thursday show at The Space, he made the grand announcement.

Tom explained that he was taking a break from alcohol though he was seen drinking a beer. Yet, it was non-alcoholic so he can still participate without getting inebriated. Prior to the tour, Tom Sandoval headed out to a resort where he participated in physical, outdoor activities to get his mind in a better space. This may have helped him realize that he needed to take a step back and cut out the things that were not serving him at the moment. He has also been showing off an extremely ripped body as of late not that he hasn’t always been in great shape.

Can He Maintain It?

Being on tour can be hard with an endless supply of alcohol, especially depending on where you are performing. Yet, based on the decisions he has made over the last nine months, this may be a great way to reset. Only time will tell if he can maintain this. However, it is great that he saw a problem and is attempting to rectify it.
