Elle Macpherson reveals depths of her alcohol addiction in new memoir as she recalls drinking 'vodka every night'


Elle Macpherson detailed the depths of her alcoholism and journey to sobriety in a powerful chapter of her memoir, elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself .

While reflecting on getting clean, the 60-year-old Australian supermodel, who was dubbed 'The Body' at 25, revealed she frequently got black-out drunk and began drinking 'shots of vodka' after putting her sons Cy, 21, and Flynn Busson, 26, to bed. Even after giving birth to her youngest child, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl recalled feeling consumed by the desire to drink a bottle of champagne that was gifted to her. Despite receiving a warning from her two naturopaths that drinking too soon after giving birth would disrupt her hormones, Macpherson admitted that when left alone with Cy in her arms all she 'could think about was that bottle of champagne in the ice bucket.'
