Harry Potter Can’t Handle His Drink Because He’s A Massive Wimp

Harry Potter star, Harry Potter (or, Daniel Radcliffe as his mum refers to him when she's shouting abuse up the stairs) is a wimp of the highest order. Why? Because wickle Dan Dan can't handle his ale.

And he's proud to admit it.

Apparently, Radcliffe had a drink problem. The problem was that, every single stinkin' time he drank some lovely booze, he'd 'black out'. Get that! He didn't pass out a few times. He blacked out so frequently it became 'his thing'. What a wimp. He probably passes out after eating those horrible chocolates with liqueurs inside them.

When asked if he had 'fun drunken nights out' before giving up alcohol in August 2010, Radcliffe said:

"Yeah, but I can't remember them. Seriously, in the last three years of drinking I blacked out nearly every time. Blacking out was my thing."

This reeks of someone wanting to paste an edge onto themselves doesn't it? When lacking in personality, get yourself a problem. It's definitely a thing – just look at half of twitter pretending to be socially awkward.

And Radcliffe's problems didn't end there. He was so concerned with his behaviour when he'd been having a nice glug that he became 'a recluse at 20', drinking alone at home like a sad old soak.

'The drinking was unhealthy and damaging to my body and my social life. That's beyond question… I was living in constant fear of who I'd meet, what I might have said to them, what I might have done with them, so I'd stay in my apartment for days and drink alone."

"I was a recluse at 20. It was pathetic – it wasn't me. I'm a fun, polite person and it turned me into a rude bore. For a long time people were saying to me, "We think you have a problem," but in the end I had to come to the realisation myself."

And so, what did Daniel do? He talked to Gary Oldman of course!

"I did talk to him about it once. I didn't say I had a problem -–because I didn't think I did at that point – but I told him I shared that mentality he had for actively seeking out chaos."

"He just said, "You can't keep doing this. You've got too much to lose". And that really went in. But not even he could have stopped me alone – I had to stop myself."

"And stopping has shown me a world of happiness that I didn't think was possible."

Gah. Sounds like someone's about to find religion, doesn't it? Still, America will love this chat, mainly because they've got a gigantic problem with those who take a little refreshment on a night out.

Meanwhile, Europe raises a glass like a massive tough guy.
