KIEFER SUTHERLAND - SUTHERLAND CONCERNED ABOUT HIS DRINKING HABIT

Actor KIEFER SUTHERLAND wishes he could control his drinking binges because he's tired of waking up with no recollection of what happened the night before. The 24 star accepts he has a reputation as a heavy boozer, but insists he only turns to alcohol to unwind. He says, "It's selfish and self-absorbed and it's a dangerous thing, thinking that if you work really hard, you should be able to reward yourself by going out and getting s**t-faced. "I should be able to wake up in the morning without going, 'Oh, no! Where's my boot?' or 'Where am I?' "It's not a very clever way to live, and I don't want to live like that, but it's the kind of trade you have to make."
