ANI: Calling herself embarrassingly dramatic at the age of 19 after her break up with Johnny Depp, ‘Autumn in New York’ star Winona Ryder has said that she tried to turn into an alcoholic recluse to save herself from the heartache.

“I attempted being an alcoholic for two weeks, spending a lot of time in my hotel room, drinking screwdrivers from the mini-bar, smoking cigarettes and listening to Tom Waits”, she added.
