Pat Sajak says he and Vanna White got drunk before 'Wheel of Fortune' tapings back in the day
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Pat Sajak admits that in the early days of "Wheel of Fortune" he and Vanna White would knock back a few during breaks.
He was asked on ESPN 2's "Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable" whether he was ever intoxicated on the show. Sajak responded with a laugh, "Yes," People reported. "When I first started and was much younger and could tolerate those things. We had a different show then.
At the time, the show had a long break during tapings when he and White would go to a nearby Mexican restaurant for margaritas.
