Comedienne Rosie O’Donnell has denied rumors that she is an alcoholic, insisting that she chose to give up drinking because she is desperate to lose weight. The star recently confessed her dieting secret to a fan on her online blog, prompting others to question the real reason behind her sobriety.

The fan asked: “So, Rosie, alcoholic or not? Just spit it out! …What led to you stopping the beer? You’ll only help someone else.”

While O’Donnell admits she was consuming more booze than she would have liked, she is adamant she is simply doing it to improve her health, according to the New York Post’s gossip column PageSix. She replied: “(I gave up alcohol) ’cause I was drinking too much, ’cause I didn’t want to any more, ’cause it is hard to lose weight when drinking, ’cause I can never have only one.”

Sounds like an alcoholic to me, what do you think?
