Before his weekend DUI arrest, Shia LaBeouf opened up about his struggles with alcohol in Details' September issue (out August 12).

The most shocking revelation: LaBeouf, 22, and his father, a former heroin addict, "would drink together and smoke together," the actor told the magazine, "and it's just a bad deal.

"It's not something that is conducive to being a role model no iconic actors that I know of have problems like that," LaBeouf added. "And I don't know how to do it like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink."

He also opened up about a drunken spat he had in a Chicago Walgreens last November. (He was charged with criminal trespassing; it was later dropped.)

"It was two hotheads," LaBeouf said of the incident. "One completely in the wrong, one who wasn't enjoying his job that night, going at it about minuscule bulls--t."

The Details interview surfaces days after the actor's DUI arrest early Sunday morning following a night of boozing at West Hollywood's Troubadour club.

LaBeouf's 23-year-old Transformers co-star Isabel Lucas was a passenger in his truck when the accident occurred, sources tell Usmagazine.com.

She was not seriously injured, but LaBeouf's rep said the the actor is "currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of Transformers 2 within one month."

LaBeouf's mom told Us Monday: "He is doing really well."

    I remember watching this kid on Nikelodeon when he was younger. I told everyone I knew that he would make it big one day and be on the big screen. I was so excited for him. So much potential. Please Shia....get yourself on the right track. I understand the drinking issue. I went through it with my mother my entire childhood. Do something now before it gets any worse.
