Drew Barrymore has reportedly revealed that she is not "completely sober".

The Whip It! director has admitted that she has never claimed to be teetotal, and has opened up about her carefree spirit.

Barrymore told Parade magazine: "No, I'm not completely sober. And I don't claim to be - quite the opposite. I've tried to find the balance. I hope it's balanced."

The 34-year-old actress added: "I don't know if I'm completely comfortable ever. Sometimes I can totally let go with complete abandon - sing and dance and run around and not care what people think about me.

"Still, there seems to be this ball of stress inside me that I can't get rid of."

Whip It!, starring Ellen Page, debuts in US cinemas on October 2. No UK release date has yet been announced.
