Christina Ricci at the ShoWest 2008 - Warner Bros Pictures Presents 'The Big Picture '08'. Las Vegas, Nevada - 13.03.08

The Sleepy Hollow beauty isn't a fan of young actresses who blame their documented intoxicated states on the pressures of fame - as she has never been offered drugs at A-List parties.

But the 28-year-old admits the industry has changed since she started out as a child star - because stars weren't hounded by the media like they are today.

She tells Britain's Elle magazine, "Why would you'd get drunk and fall over in front of photographers I don't really know.

"People used to warn me, saying, 'Be Careful! You're an actress so there's temptation all around!' Well, no one has ever offered me drugs.

"I liked drinking but I couldn't handle it, so I stopped. Luckily for me, there wasn't that much media then. Now if you go out you're going to end up in the paper."
