Drew Barrymore Started to Abuse Drugs and Alcohol Early in Life

Drew Barrymore is one of the most well known and busy actors of the last twenty five years. Acting has truly been a lifelong career; nearly fifty films since she was five years old. She inherited two important legacies from her family - acting talent and drug addiction.

When it comes to drugs and rehab, it would be wise to take advice from a girl who has been through it all. Drew Barrymore, who has been to rehab several times starting at the age of 14, is offering some advice for the Young Hollywood party generation. "If you don’t pull it together for yourself, no one else will," She stated. Barrymore started drinking at the age of 9 and first tried cocaine at the age of 12. Drew Barrymore is certainly a celebrity, but she was once a young person with a lot of pain. Many drug addicts can relate to this.


Any normal nine year old girl is still playing with dolls. At 12 years old you are thinking about getting your first kiss. In Barrymore's case she was not a normal kid. My question is what kind of person dares and child to try alcohol and or do cocaine?
