In a new post on social media, Britney Spears says she "can't stand most alcohol," while also calling out her family for drug testing her every week.

In a lengthy now-deleted Instagram post, the "Toxic" singer shared many thoughts in a series of screenshots of text. Some topics she talked about were her wedding where wedding goers—including herself and Selena Gomez—slipped on rose petals, a recent interview her brother Bryan did, alcohol and calling out her family for the drug tests she had to do weekly.

She began: "True story - the 13 years of being in the conservatorship I was drug tested at least 3 times a week ... I don't even really like alcohol ... meanwhile I heard that my dad would go to bars every night ... and my brother had his shrimp salad with a Jack and coke every night in Vegas after my show and even sometimes before !!!"

"He would never even let me have a sip ...you let your 5-year-old daughter put her hand in her mother's wine and be silly yet when I just get off the stage for the 3rd time that week and my little feet have been in heels I walk to the only table in my suite and you tell me no ... my question is this WHY???? Let's talk about it ... is it the powerful feeling dad got when my whole life in literally making me feel like absolutely nothing," she continued.

She goes on to explain that she used to be able to drink a lot when she was younger and how she and her friend could go through "two bottles of champagne." When she went to Vegas recently, she had a vodka and Sprite and wrote that after drinking half, she couldn't finish the rest. She wrote that her stomach "was in knots" and it was painful while she was still out with friends. She couldn't leave her room for two days because the alcohol upset her stomach.

She said, "It's pretty funny my family doing what they did to me with drug testing me that who time and yet I stand most alcohol !!! Nope, I'm not cool ... I wish I could play that bad girl my family wants me to play but honestly ... I'm too old for this s**t !!!"

For 13 years, Spears was under a conservatorship under her father, Jamie. A conservatorship is a term where someone has control over someone else's decisions if someone deems they cannot make them themselves. Jamie Spears had control over her finances, estate and decisions about her career.

Spears recently got married to Sam Asghari at their home in Los Angeles, California. Spears were a customized Versace gown and invited celebrity guests including Paris Hilton, Donatella Versace, Selena Gomez and Drew Barrymore.
