'Sex and the City' star Kristin Davis has discussed her struggle with alcohol in her twenties.
The new issue of Shape magazine quotes Davis as saying: "Alcohol freed me. I was really shy and I didn't know how to come out of my shell. [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."
Davis, who stopped drinking in her twenties, has abstained since.
'Sex and the City: The Movie' opens in Irish cinemas on 28 May.
