(CBS News) Charlie Sheen now admits he wasn't really "winning" last year during his very public meltdown, which included a number of memorable catchphrases and him getting fired from "Two and a Half Men."

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the actor said, "Clearly, a guy gets fired, his relationships are in the toilet, he's off on some f------ tour, there's nothing 'winning' about any of that. I mean, how does a guy who's obviously quicksanded, how does he consider any of it a victory? I was in total denial."

Sheen, 46, also told the magazine that he's no longer sober.

"I don't see what's wrong with a few drinks," he said. "What's your drink? Tequila? Mine's vodka. Straight, because I've always said that ice is for injuries, ha ha."

That wasn't the only revelation he gave in the interview - Sheen, whose FX series "Anger Management" premieres June 28, also discussed his foot fetish and gave an update on the status of his relationship with ex-wife Denise Richards.

On feet, Sheen said, "I've not dated girls because of their feet, just the length of certain toes and the shape of where things should be and they're not. Hammertoes are bad. And the second toe being too long? That's bad, too."

As for Richards, she told the magazine, "He and I are like best friends now. Confidants. He tells me everything."

Sheen added, "And we sleep in separate bedrooms. Everyone's going to want to know that, too."

The new issue of Rolling Stone hits newsstands on Friday.
