Avril Lavigne was drunk when she recorded her new album. ‘The Best Damn Thing’.

Avril told Britain’s Arena magazine: “I had the most fun in the studio making this record - we were getting drunk, scootering around, ordering junk food and I think that comes across on the record.”

The 22-year-old singer insists she is much better behaved when she drinks, compared to when she was younger.

She said: “I used to have a few drinks and yell, ‘Woooo!’ and take my top off! But I haven’t done that in a few years.

“I drink and have a good time, jump up on tables and wreck things but only once in a while. To put things into perspective, I’ve only drunk twice in the last three weeks. But when I do I AM the party!”
