Marilyn Manson: 'I Screwed My Life Up Before I Started Drinking'

He denies he's an alcoholic...

Marilyn Manson has claimed he “screwed” his life up before he began drinking.

Manson has battled drug and alcohol problems throughout much of his career and reportedly now drinks absinthe for breakfast.

But, in an interview with the Daily Mirror, the singer denied he was an alcoholic.

"Not according to the statistics that I read. I went to one AA meeting and I got asked for an autograph. I got pissed off,” he said.

“I think you should be able to go in there wearing a mask and say I'm an alcoholic, I'm anonymous. That's a real alcoholic.

"They told me that the definition of an alcoholic is someone who drinks, screws up their life and knows it, but continues doing it.

"Well I screwed up my life up before I drank!"

Manson is currently promoting his latest album, 'The High End Of Low'.
