Lily Allen: Strictly Cocaine Now

This will end well:

LA: I don’t drink anymore.

DH: You’ve stopped for good?

LA: I’ve stopped for the foreseeable future.

DH: Was the drink getting out of control?

LA: No. I just decided that I didn’t want to give people ammunition to write things about me. I mean, I’ll just take cocaine now without any alcohol. [laughs]

DH: I’ve tried. It’s a nightmare. You become a jibbering wreck.

LA: God, I can’t imagine what that must be like.

DH: Yeah, it’s stupid. It’s the most horrible thing in the world. You’re just totally wired. And because everyone else around you is drinking and you’re not, it makes you really want to drink. But you don’t drink, so you just have more cocaine, which makes you more wired, and then everyone else sort of crashes out, and you say, “I hate myself.”

  • Love Damien Hirst, love lily Allen. Let ’em both snort as much fucking Peruvian marching powder they bloodly well feel like. So far, it seems to be working – Damien hirst is one of my absolute favourite contemporary artists, truly a genius, and Lily is just as sweet, cool, and endearing as I’ve seen in any recent pop star anywhere. So I sure as hell am not gonna begrudge these two their cocaine fun. Snort away, kids! Good times…

  • not to sound like a know-it-all but coke+drink=still coked but no longer drunk
    it kinda cancels out any alcohol effects, and you only get “totally wired” if you’re taking a lot of coke anyways, so these two are either
    a) like those little twats in high school who pretend theyre getting effects off stuff when they’re not or
    b) just talking about it for the publicity
    i probably dont sound too coherent but I cant sleep, hence the 6am browsing
    (funny coincidence, its nothing to do with cocaine)

    • you can still be kinda drunk…. I mostly agree with you tho. Adding coke to your booze night just kind of sobers you up and leaves you cokey.

      Aw, cocaine.

      Ugh and also…. I would hate to drink AFTER coke. All I want is some freaking water. Booze tastes like pooh.

  • It’s so true! I used to have the same problem because I never smoked dope. After a big night on the powder everyone else would smoke some cones to take the edge off and I would sit there chewing my gums and drinking wine by the pint and wishing I was dead. Ah, good times.

  • she’s laughing now all right, wait for a few years more, she’ll look like cokate. serves her right!
