Spiked - A Birdie Blind Item: In a recent spot for private rehab services, this former child actor confessed to have started drinking prior to kindergarten. According to a friend and former neighbor of the family though, it started even earlier. The mother, prior to becoming a momager, would add a little whiskey to her infant son's formula. It helped with the teething, she said, and also helped with the crying, which always made her hangovers worse.
