One-time party girl says she was just faking it

LOS ANGELES TIMES
LOS ANGELES -- Asked about the constant images of her partying, Paris Hilton was all denials. She may have topped Star magazine's "Hollywood's Hardest Partiers" list earlier this month (and is shown in a photograph accompanying the article guzzling from a bottle of Jack Daniel's), but she insisted that her party-hearty reputation is all artifice.
"I can't go out drinking every night. I have to get up the next morning for a photo shoot," she said. "I don't like the taste of alcohol. It grosses me out."
How does she find the wherewithal to just say no to that third glass of Cristal champagne? "People love taking shots of tequila, so I say, 'Just pour me water,'" Hilton said. "I'll pretend to do one. If you see me at an event, I'm either getting paid for it or I'm there for business."
