Baldwin: 'I used to drink at 4pm'

Alec Baldwin has confessed that he knew he had an alcohol addiction when he was drinking wine while driving in the middle of the afternoon.

In his contribution to Christopher Kennedy Lawford's book Moments Of Clarity, the 30 Rock star admitted to a dependency on drink, drugs and video games.

"I would play video games from 9am to 11am, and I would wind down," he said. "I'm driving down the road, I'm having a drink, It's 4 O'clock; I'm supposed to have a drink. But one day I went, 'I don't see anybody else in their car with a plastic takeout container filled with ice and wine. They're drinking coffee and they're drinking diet coke. They're not drinking wine'."

The actor revealed that he decided to beat his addictions when a retired postal worker named Lenny told him: "You never have to feel this way again if you don't want to."

Baldwin picked up a best actor in a musical or comedy Golden Globe for his role in sitcom 30 Rock on Sunday.
