"&lt;strong&gt;Ben Roethlisberger&lt;/strong&gt; is paying extra special attention to his diet this week -- because when he was pounding drinks at a Texas bar Tuesday night ... he wanted his rum mixed with DIET COKE. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&amp;amp;mediaKey=d2cd0c62-29ed-48fd-9aad-626d9372efcc\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/02/03/020311-ben-video-2-credit.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Roethlisberger Piano Bar\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ has obtained FOOTAGE of the &lt;strong&gt;Pittsburgh Steelers&lt;/strong&gt; quarterback hanging out at &lt;strong&gt;Pete's Dueling Piano Bar&lt;/strong&gt; in Fort Worth Texas ... where he sang his face off from 11:00 PM until 1:15 AM the next morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources inside the bar tell us Big Ben arrived with two massive teammates -- and bought several rounds of drinks for himself AND the entire bar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told Ben racked up an $800 tab -- and tipped an additional $200.&amp;#160; People inside the bar tell us Ben was \"nice, fun and took care of everyone.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the clip, Ben can be seen singing along to the Billy Joel classic \"Piano Man\" while his teammates joined in on the fun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div style=\"float: right;\"&gt;&lt;!-- relatedpoll --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\nSo, we gotta ask ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE: &lt;/strong&gt;This morning, Ben told reporters about his big night out ... saying, \"It was a superstition and tradition on Tuesday night. I take the linemen out to dinner. We went out for barbecue and then we wanted to hear some live music. We just had an enjoyable night.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
