BOSTON — Kitty Dukakis says in her upcoming autobiography that the night she drank rubbing alcohol, she didn't realize it was poisonous and wasn't attempting suicide, a newspaper reported.
Dukakis, the wife of former Democratic presidential nominee and Massachusetts Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, chronicles her bouts with alcohol and diet pill addiction in "Now You Know," to be released in August.
According to the Boston Sunday Herald, Dukakis reveals in the book that she had been drinking and unable to sleep on the night of Nov. 7, 1989, and mistakenly drank rubbing alcohol--an incident that made headlines. But she said she wasn't attempting suicide, the newspaper reported.
It said it had gathered details about the closely guarded book, published by Simon & Schuster, from relatives and friends of the Dukakis family.
