When Leno asked the reality star how she managed to stay out of the trouble that seem to afflict young celebrities, she said, “I’ve never been a drinker, I’ve never gotten into drugs. You know, I think I have such a close family. I think, you know, at a young age. I think you know my sisters do enough drinking to kind of fill up the whole family.”
She continued: “From a young age, my dad made it very clear that, ‘OK, you’re the responsible one and you have to watch your sister, and (he) taught me how to drive when I was 14 in case my sister or her friends were going to be drinking and I always had permission to drive. You know, I had to call him from the destination and the final place. I always felt this sense of pride that he had in me that I was the responsible one so I always wanted to make him proud. And I hate the taste of alcohol.”
Kardashian did confess however that she indulges in a White Russian ( I can't) every now and again. “I said at 30 I’m gonna at least have a drink to lighten-up ‘cause my sisters say I’m so boring so I tried a White Russian a few months ago, she said. “If I have one, it taste like chocolate milk and it’s kind of amazing. So every once and a while, but I’m 30 so it’s OK.”

JAY LENO’S MONOLOGUE TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2010
THIS PAST WEEKEND MARKED FIVE YEARS SINCE HURRICANE KATRINA HIT NEW ORLEANS. ISN’T THAT UNBELIEVABLE? THINK ABOUT IT—BACK THEN THE ECONOMY WAS A MESS, THERE WAS A HUGE DISASTER IN THE GULF, THE PRESIDENT WAS ON VACATION WHEN THINGS WERE FALLING APART—THANK GOD THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN TODAY.
ACTUALLY, PRESIDENT OBAMA SPOKE IN NEW ORLEANS OVER THE WEEKEND TO MARK THE 5TH ANNIVERSARY. THERE WAS ONE EMBARRASSING MOMENT; HALFWAY THROUGH HIS SPEECH FEMA FINALLY SHOW UP. PARIS HILTON TOLD THE LAS VEGAS POLICE THAT THE PURSE WITH THE COCAINE IN IT WASN'T HERS AND THAT IT WAS ALL A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.
MEANWHILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NIGHTCLUB A FRUSTRATED LINDSAY LOHAN OPENED HER PURSE AND FOUND A CHIHUAHUA IN IT.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THE MAN THEY CALL “THE ROCKET” ROGER CLEMENS WAS FORCED TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS. CONGRESS IS VERY UPSET WITH CLEMENS BECAUSE THEY FELT THEY WERE LIED TO. GOOD! NOW YOU KNOW HOW WE FEEL.

HERE’S SOMETHING ODD. I WAS IN LAS VEGAS OVER THE WEEKEND, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I DO. YOU KNOW THAT HOTEL COMPLEX; NEW YORK NEW YORK? YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BUILDING IN IT? A MOSQUE! I WAS STUNNED. RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE.
