Jodie Sweetin, one of the stars of the iconic late ’80s to mid-’90s family sitcom “Full House,” recently recounted the first time she drank alcohol and the impact it had on her life during a podcast interview earlier this month.
Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on the show, has been open about her struggles with drug and alcohol addiction in the past. The former child actor was a guest on the Nov. 20 episode of The Skinny Confidential’s “Him & Her” podcast, hosted by Lauryn Evarts Bosstick and Michael Bosstick.
Sweetin revealed the first time she had alcohol was at the wedding of Candace Cameron Bure — who played D.J. Tanner on the series — to hockey player Valeri Bure. The wedding took place around a year after the end of “Full House,” which ran from 1987 to 1995.
“Well, the first time I ever drank, I was like, 14, 13 … and it was at Candace’s wedding and I was just a blackout drinker,” Sweetin said. “The last thing I remember doing, I think, is somewhere around the M of a ‘YMCA,’ and then I don’t remember anything from the rest of the night.
“It was awful and it was ugly, and it was embarrassing,” she added. “My mother was horrified.”
