"Mary Elizabeth Winstead has discussed her emotionally raw performance in alcoholism drama Smashed. Winstead stars opposite Breaking Bad&amp;#039;s Aaron Paul in the Sundance hit from director James Ponsoldt, playing a young woman whose alcohol abuse is enabled by her similarly dependant husband (Paul).  &amp;quot;Aaron and I got drunk together - there was a little method getting into character!&amp;quot; Winstead told Digital Spy.  &amp;quot;It did bond us quickly, because we saw each other in a state where... usually you get to know somebody a little bit more before you quite go off the deep end!  &amp;quot;We went for it to a bad, bad degree. But then by the time we saw each other on set, we were like &amp;#039;Okay, we have a history now, at least, we&amp;#039;ve been somewhere together!&amp;#039;  Winstead also discussed her decision to move away from blockbusters, her research into Alcoholics Anonymous and what she related to in her character. Smashed is released in the UK tomorrow (December 14).  Watch the trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
