Pop singer Pink has admitted she tried to check herself into rehab after becoming concerned about her drinking.Pink has said she attempted to get checked into a rehab facility earlier this year after becoming worried about her drinking. “A few months ago, I went to see a specialist because I thought I was an alcoholic,” she tells Contact Music. “I have a problem with my vices. I've kicked the drugs, but every now and then I have to go out and get completely wasted on alcohol. For me it's about losing control. I'm such a control freak it's very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me. How do you really have fun if there isn't a little drink in you? I don't actually know. I checked into Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, in the summer and I went to see a therapist, telling him I was an alcoholic. He asked me when I'd had my last drink and I couldn't remember - it had been a few weeks previously. I then read the AA [Alcoholics Anonymous] manual cover to cover and we talked. I realised I wasn't an alcoholic, just someone who likes to get drunk every now and again. I'm trying to work out if that's a bad thing."
