During a recent YouTube video, Jenelle called out fans that said she drinks too much.
After reading an article headline that claimed she has a drinking problem, Jenelle said: “Y’all, if you even knew. When I was younger I drank so much liquor. You can call me an alcoholic when I was younger.”
She then shared a story as she recalled: “One time when I was on the beach and I went to the beach with my mom, it was the first time or second time I got drunk and I think I was 14 or 15-years-old.
“And all my friends were on the beach that I saw by the pier and we went over there and they took out their big a** soda bottle full of Everclear.”
The MTV star continued: “I drank it and it was so cold that it didn’t really burn that much at the time and then I was super trashed. I had to walk back to my mom’s beach towel and I knew she was there.
“And needless to say I could hardly walk because it was sandy and it’s hard to walk in the sand when you’re drunk.”
She concluded: “Yeah, I was grounded for about a month.”
After noting that she drank a lot when dating ex Nathan Griffith, Jenelle said that she began to have esophagus problems and “if I drank too much I’d start having esophagus spasms at the end of the night and I’d be throwing up.”
The Teen Mom 2 alum said: “With that being said, I completely stopped drinking liquor.”
Jenelle then shared that she and husband David Eason now only drink beer, stating that she has “two to three a week.”
