The frontman said that his kidneys "were still throbbing" three days after the promotional event.
"We were doing a promo in Australia and went on a bender after our first show," Stride told the Daily Star.
"The people over there are party monsters - it almost killed us."
He continued: "I think someone put about £2,000 behind the bar and we all just went for it.
"We didn't get back to our hotel until the next morning. [Drummer] Pete passed out until 6pm the next day.
"The trouble is there's an obligation to drink in this business."
