You will not be seeing any more photos of RANDY TRAVIS drunk and naked because he's finally SWEARING OFF the booze. And he's so proud . . . he sent a lackey out to tell us about it. Randy's overworked lawyer Larry Friedman told TMZ, quote, "(Randy) Travis has acknowledged the problem . . . and decided to 86 the liquor from his life so he could focus on improving his health.
