David Arquette: I Had My First Beer at Age 4
David Arquette has been sober since Dec. 29, and he's ready to share all the details about his alcohol and drug-filled past since cleaning up. During an appearance on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' airing Thursday, the actor reveals all to the talk show host.
"When I had my first drink of beer, I must have been 4 years old," he told Winfrey [via
UsMagazine.com]. "I was down in the basement with my dad, and beer was there, and I just grabbed it and drank it. And I remember that. It's one of my earliest memories."
"I seriously started drinking probably when I was about 12," the 'Scream 4' actor continued. "I stole pot from my father when I was 8 years old."
The 39-year-old revealed it was his wife,
Courteney Cox, and sister, Patricia Arquette, who got him to check into rehab on Jan. 2.
"I came back from Miami, and I had taken a nap. I woke up, and Patricia and Courteney were at my bed," Arquette remembered. "Courteney had a cup of coffee. I was like, 'What are you two doing here together?' I already knew."
"Courteney's like, 'Do you mind coming out to the living room for a minute?' I said, 'Sure, let me get dressed.' I put on this white outfit and came out. I peeked my head out, and [I saw] my best friend Hartwell and my business partner and some guy I don't know. I go 'What up, Turkeys? I guess this is my intervention!'"

Dude.. they have alternative names for a reason. What gives you the right to expose their real names? It doesn't make you cool.. nor does it make anyone believe you're in tight with them or something. Fool..
