Kristin Davis' Battle With Alcoholism

May 15, 2008

Kristin Davis has opened up about her bout with alcoholism in a recent interview with Globe Magazine. She says her twenties were the worst time in her life because she was drinking too much.

"Alcohol freed me. I was really shy and I didn't know how to come out of my shell. People in the south drink a lot. From fifteen onward people hand you bourbon."

"I drank for the same reason I loved acting. I wanted to feel things and express myself and be free - and I'm not naturally that way. I wasn't outgoing. I wasn't commanding attention."

Kristin has been sober for eighteen years now! While her twenties weren't the best, her thirties turned out to be a pretty amazing decade with her role in Sex and the City. That's a hard thing to admit to, and very admirable that someone in the public eye like Kristin would talk openly about her issues.

Bravo! Such a character in SATC! We all - my family and friends - loved Kristin Davies and her acting. Charming, beautiful, feminine, classy! And so brave to admit she had that (unfortunately) global problem! Ww wish her all the best!

People in the South do not drink any more than people in any other region. I've heard Kristin Davis make several negative comments about where she comes from, and this is similarly ridiculous. Perhaps people in her social circle back home handed her drinks underage, but that is not the norm.
