Carole Lamond, 57, who drank 20 cans of Irn Bru a day for 20 years before being hypnotised by David Kilmurry. July 27 2022. A mum who spent ??3,000-a-year drinking 20 cans of IRN-BRU a day has finally kicked her 25 year habit after being hypnotised. See SWNS story SWMDirnbru. Carole Lamond, 57, first became hooked on the carbonated soft drink when she was a young girl is Glasgow before she moved down to live in London. The HR manager returned to her home country around 25 years ago where she soon began drinking several Irn-Bru cans of day. But during lockdown her addiction spiralled out of control as she worked from home and she soon began guzzling down a staggering 20 cans before bed. The problem got so bad that she would start hiding cans around the house so her husband William, 52, would not find out the extent of her dependency. It is estimated that during two years of lockdown she swigged down almost 15,000 Irn-Bru's - and 94,000 grams of sugar - as she splashed out ??60-a-week on 24 packs of cans.
