Beyonce Knowles says she is a boring drunk.
The 'Single Ladies' singer - who is married to rapper Jay Z - enjoys a glass of wine occasionally, but has a tendency to fall asleep if she has too much alcohol.
She said: "Well, I don't drink often. But when I'm drunk, I'm very quiet and I observe and I go to sleep. I don't think I'm much fun."
The 27-year-old star also insists she has never been interested in taking drugs.
Beyonce added: "I always said I would never do it. I've never seen a person who was high and thought, 'Wow, I want to do that!' I'm like, 'That's cool for them, but no thank you. I'll just have my wine.' "
The 'Bootylicious' singer - who has an alter-ego she calls Sasha - often feels people are watching her when she goes to a club to see if she can replicate her high-energy dance routines.
She explained to Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "Sometimes I'll dance, but I feel like at a party everyone expects me to be Sasha and go out there and run the dance floor."

Beyonce Knowles' new love nest
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have reportedly splashed out on a new house.
The newlyweds have purchased a home in Scarsdale, a quiet New York suburb close to where they got married last month.
The colonial-style house has reportedly been under construction for six months and the 15,000 sq ft property is situated on two acres of land.
Quiet Scarsdale is very different from where the couple's current home is - a penthouse apartment in New York's trendy TriBeCa district.
The first indicator that the couple were planning to marry came when they registered for a license in Scarsdale in April.
Shortly after applying for permission to wed, Beyonce and Jay-Z exchanged vows in a private ceremony at a chapel in Scarsdale Village.
Reports then emerged that the former Destiny's Child star may be pregnant.
Last year, Beyonce insisted she wouldn't pressurise 38-year-old Jay-Z into having children, saying: "You can't rush a man into anything whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children. When he's ready he'll let you know."

Beyonce Knowles back to work
Beyonce Knowles has started work on her new album.
The 'Crazy in Love' singer - who married rapper Jay-Z last month - is back in a New York studio to record new material with production duo Chris 'Tricky' Stewart and Kuk Harrell.
Tricky said: "She's a professional. She loves what she does and works her butt off. Right now she's basically doing three to four songs a day and that's unheard of."
Tricky - who has previously worked with Rihanna and Mariah Carey - also revealed Beyonce could team up with Jay-Z.
He added to People magazine: "It's always a possibility. They worked together before, so it may be just a matter of getting the right record."
Meanwhile, it has been claimed Beyonce is pregnant.
The star - who has been plagued by pregnancy rumours ever since she wed Jay-Z in a secret ceremony on April 4 - is said to be expecting her first child and was keen to tie the knot before she had the baby.
A source said: "Beyonce is 100 per cent pregnant, which is why the couple rushed their wedding.
"The wedding was thrown together so quickly because of Beyonce's strong Christian beliefs."

Beyonce: 'I Had A Bra On'.
Beyonce Knowles has laughed off reports she accidentally flashed her breasts during a wardrobe malfunction in Canada last week (15Aug07), insisting she was wearing a flesh-coloured bra.
Video footage posted on the internet of the singer's recent performance in Toronto showed her top fly up to reveal a blur of flesh, prompting reports Knowles had flashed her chest.
However, the Deja Vu hitmaker insists she kept her modesty.
Her publicist tells Mtv, "She's wearing a flesh-tone bra! Do you really think Beyonce would go onstage like that".

Beyonce Knowles Bares Breasts - watch the video
Beyonce Knowles shocked fans at a performance last week (15Aug07) when she accidentally bared her breasts on stage.
The Naughty Girl was appearing at the launch of her clothing line Dereon in Toronto, Canada, when the mishap occurred - but footage of the exposure has been posted on the internet.
During an energetic dance routine, Knowles' top lifted up, revealing her bare breasts to hundreds of fans.
It is the latest on camera - and on-stage - embarrassment for the singer.
Last month (Jul07), footage of Knowles taking a tumble at a gig in Florida was uploaded on video-sharing site YouTube, despite pleas from the singer for fans to keep the incident private.

Beyoncé Knowles' fragrant giveaway
Beyoncé Knowles will give away her latest fragrance for free at her New York show. The 'Crazy In Love' singer is launching Diamonds - a new perfume with Emporio Armani - at her Madison Square Garden concert on Saturday (04.08.07). Twenty "brand ambassadors" will be at the show to give out free samples of Diamonds to the audience.
The 25-year-old - who has already leant her name several fragrances produced by designer Tommy Hilfiger - recently fell down a flight of stairs during a concert.
Beyoncé was performing her hit 'Ring the Alarm' in Orlando on July 24 when she lost her balance and crashed down a dozen steps, dropping her microphone which slid across the stage.
But Beyoncé - who was wearing a trench coat and high heels for the song - quickly grabbed the microphone, sprang to her feet and began singing again, barely missing a beat.
When she had finished singing, the star joked: "Don't put it on YouTube!"
Beyoncé previously claimed dancing in heels is "easy", but admits she does find it difficult to dance and sing at the same time.
She said: "The easiest part is dancing in the heels. I don't even think about it anymore, it's just second nature.
"But it is difficult to dance and sing at the same time. I have to make sure I'm in shape and I'm hydrated."
