HELEN MIRREN - MIRREN NOT A BIG DRINKER ANYMORE

DAME HELEN MIRREN can't celebrate her success like she once did because she no longer likes the taste of alcohol. The Oscar-winning actress admits she's a little distressed that she no longer drinks like she did in her youth. She says, "I just don't like it anymore. I'd love to be able to drink. "It's not because I'm in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) or something. I've just lost my taste for it, which is very upsetting." But not all alcohol is a turn off for the British star: "I love champagne, so I buy the odd bottle of that."
