Adele admits booze helps her write songs

Adele has well and truly become a star with her second album 21, and anyone wondering where the Rolling In The Deep singer gets her song-writing inspiration from only needs to look down the bottom of an empty bottle.

The 23-year-old Adele has revealed that getting drunk helps her get in touch with her feelings and write her heartbreaking songs, "I used to have to lock myself away in my house, get pretty drunk and write a drunk diary - and that was the first time I could admit things to myself, she told The Sun.

"A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion and the next morning I would read it through with an awful hangover and, in the cold light of day, had to absorb my feelings about myself. I was a bit scared that I wouldn't be articulate enough.

"I started realising my own flaws and my disappointments and I started regretting a lot of stuff. It was quite an awakening."

    She jokes about the evil fitness regime that she probably forced him into.

    Plz don't end up like Amy, I couldn't bear another fabulous songwriter and singer to die because of alcohol.

    Oh and congrats Shortsall, I found out with both my boys and I'm so glad I did, I think it helps you bond, knowing if you are expecting a boy or a girl. Not that I minded which I got, but I must say 2 little boys are a lot of fun! Going to pick them up from nursery in 5 mins, I miss them!

    to be honest, and this is gonna sound rude, i just can't be bothered to care about this anymore. i haven't slept properly in 3 days, i have pregnancy hormones making it impossible to know what mood i'm in and i have no idea what's going to happen tonight when the feckers come out again. clearly i am incapable of understanding what you're going on about and should never EVER express an opinion, especially about something that's happening so close to my home, so we'll agree to disagree. i came on here to try and get cheered up a bit, but it hasn't worked so i'll be off now.
