One Blood Relative Claims Gavin DeGraw Only Drank Juice The Night He Was Attacked, Fell Into Oncoming Traffic

Gavin DeGraw was released from Bellevue Hospital last night after spending nearly two days there recuperating from his blackout drunk beatdown in the East Village early Monday morning. According to the NY Post, he was moved to NYU Hospital last night for surgery on his broken nose. DeGraw said he doesn't "remember much" from his drunken adventure, which included being beaten down be a few strangers, followed by being hit by a cab.

DeGraw's brother Joseph, who he owns an East Village bar with, insists he "had nothing but cranberry juice to drink" that night. Can cranberry juice fuel a body with enough bad decisions to stay out until 4 a.m. when on a huge national tour though?

The 34-year-old singer's publicist says he "suffers from a concussion, broken nose, black eyes, cuts and bruises." He's also canceled his shows opening for Maroon 5 and Train through Saturday.

You win! I'm sorry I made fun of the cyclist stories! Please... more stories about bikes and Shake Shack and corrupt cops! Anything besides all these Devin McGraw stories! What's going on in Williamsburg tonight, anything? Nude hide-and-go-seek tournament, maybe?

If cranberry juice makes you that "out of it", I need to start cultivating cranberries in my yard.

Only when you fertilize them with rohypnol.

Jen- Need a rewrite on this sentence: "Can cranberry juice fuel a body with enough bad decisions to stay out until 4 a.m. when on a huge national tour though?"
