Amy Winehouse says fame has made her stop drinking.

The 'Rehab' singer - who is known for her drinking sessions - says she is approached by so many fans when she is in the pub, she hardly has time to get drunk.

Amy said: "I'm drinking much less than I was before because I'm working so hard that I don't really have much chance to go a**e over t*t.

"People come up to me so much that I can scarcely put a drink to my lips.

"In one sense I miss being able to go out and roll home without anyone taking any notice. But it's also quite a relief. I know I have this very self-destructive side to me and hard work helps keep that in check."

The 23-year-old also admits she is a nasty person when she is drunk.

She said: "I do get very angry when I drink a lot. I don't know why - it just comes out.

"I think drinking breeds more depression, which breeds drinking which breeds more depression. But when don't drink I think I'm a perfectly nice girl."
