Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was under the influence of more than just fame back in her Jersey Shore days.

"I was probably drunk!" the Snooki & JWoww star said when guest host Hoda Kotb noted how much more composed she seemed in comparison with past appearances. "I did every interview drunk…it was literally like a party stage. It was like, 'This is awesome.' So I would drink all the time."

"I don't regret it because it's brought me to where I am today," she told Kotb. "It's made me the person I am today. So I had to go through all of that crap to get to where I am."

As for whether she's worried about her kids someday seeing her wild hookups and arrests on Jersey Shore reruns? "If they see it, I'm just gonna be like, 'This is what not to do,'" Polizzi said. "'Learn from my mistakes. And if you ever need me, just call me. Don't be scared and get in the car with somebody else.'"
