It seems Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has traded his one addiction for another. His new vice? Mincemeat.

At a show at the Tap 'n' Tin pub in Chatham, England, the 28-year-old reportedly declined drink offers from his (anti-sobriety) fans. Doherty later said, "It's going to be mince pies for me this Christmas. I've got a massive order on the way."

But this new food obsession isn't quite AA approved. Mincemeat is made of beef suet, beef, or venison combined with dried fruit, spices and ... brandy.
