HOLLYWOOD - Actress Rosie O'Donnell can empathize with Paris Hilton because she used to drink and drive.
The Sleepless in Seattle star, 45, yesterday admitted she sometimes drove under the influence in her younger years--although there is no excuse for doing so.
Talking on TV show The View, O'Donnell said, "Many people drive drunk. If you asked people in this audience how many have ever driven when they've had too much to drink, nearly everybody would raise their hand.
"It doesn't make it the right thing to do, and hopefully as you get to be an adult...
"I remember being 21 years old coming home from gigs, totally not in any capacity to drive. Thank God I didn't kill myself or anyone else.”
