Pink: I worried I was an alcoholic

Pink has revealed she thought she was an alcoholic earlier this year but was sensible and acted on it.

She explained recently: “I have a problem with my vices. I’ve kicked the drugs, but every now and then I have to go out and get completely wasted on alcohol.

“I’m such a control freak it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me. How do you really have fun if there isn’t a little drink in you? I don’t actually know.

“A few months ago I went to see a specialist because I thought I was an alcoholic. I checked into Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, in the summer and I went to see a therapist.

“He asked me when I’d had my last drink and I couldn’t remember - it had been a few weeks previously.

“I then read the Alcoholics Anonymous manual cover to cover and we talked. I realised I wasn’t an alcoholic, just someone who likes to get drunk every now and again.”
