Bam also explained, "I remember when me and Ville Valo were out in London and he woke up at noon, opened up the mini bar and cracked open a beer. That was the first time I was introduced to day drinking." 

From there, the former MTV fixture said he began drinking more and more to curb his appetite, which ultimately manifested itself into behaviors linked to bulimia. Margera's mother added, "Ville drank a lot… He's the loveliest man ever, but he never ate. He just drank. I think Bam started sipping on a beer because he liked the way he looked."

"We would go out to dinner and he would immediately excuse himself and go to the bathroom," she remembered. "I'd say, ‘Are you throwing up?' And he says, ‘Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I throw up and that way I'm not gonna get fat.'"
