Singer Demi Lovato, who struggled to overcome her drug addiction in the past, says she can never enjoy a casual drink like others as it gets out of control.
The 21-year-old singer recently revealed that during the height of her addiction, she would try to sneak cocaine onto the planes as it used to get difficult for her to go without the drug even for an hour, reported Contactmusic.
"Some people can smoke and drink recreationally. I'm not one of those people. If I do that, it will spiral out of control very quickly. I've lost the privilege of being able to drink responsibly," Lovato said.
The 'X Factor' US judge said she struggled not to have a relapse after the demise of her father earlier this year.
"I've definitely struggled a lot with drug and alcohol addictions - even more than with my eating disorder. But I decided to stay strong when my father died. I worked so hard on my sobriety - I wasn't going to give it up," she said.
