The Biggest Revelations From Lucy Hale's 'Call Her Daddy' Interview, Including How She Really Feels About Her 'Pretty Little Liars' Co-Stars

She Drank for the First Time at 12

Lucy recalled her first experience drinking. “The first time I ever had alcohol… I was probably 12, or 13?” she remembered. “I was in Florida, on vacation… and we drank Green Apple Pucker. I remember my very first experience with alcohol was the same as when it ended.”

“I blacked out — at 12 years old,” she shared. “I don’t remember what happened, I threw up, I got very sick, and I remember being so distraught when I realized what had happened. I was like, ‘Oh my god, my mom is going to be so disappointed in me.’”

After that, the Cinderella Story star was never able to drink casually. “Literally every time I drank… it was very clear I was drinking to escape something, even at a young age,” Lucy said.

The actress explained that she didn’t realize it was a serious problem until she was in her early twenties.
