Pre-teen Boozing Put Slash on Alcoholic Path

Slash Started Boozing at 12

The British-born former Guns N' Roses star can pinpoint the moment he began his long love affair with alcohol.

Hellraising rocker Slash started his downward spiral into alcoholism when he was just 12 years old, after discovering a secret stash of his father's extra-strength booze.

The British-born former Guns N' Roses star can pinpoint the moment he began his long love affair with alcohol, at a party his father threw, that he and childhood pal-turned-bandmate Steven Adler sneaked into.

Slash - real name Saul Hudson - tells Blender magazine, "I was 12 or 13 - my dad and a bunch of his friends had a party and made this insane punch. Steven and myself got into the punch. And I learned that the cure to a hangover was to keep drinking. That's probably what kickstarted the years and years of binge drinking. It turned into a 24/7 party from that day on."

I learned that the cure to a hangover was to keep drinking.

That's definetly a good way to become an alcoholic.
