We might think the Hollywood lifestyle is non-stop parties, but some celebrities prove this isn’t always the case – here’s five teetotallers and why they don’t drink.
What is teetotal? Well, it’s simply the practice of total personal abstinence from alcohol – that’s right, not even a Buck’s fizz on Christmas. While more of us than ever are taking part in dry January, with millennials charging the increase, the following celebrities take that achievement one step further by following a teetotal lifestyle.
Bella Hadid
The 25-year-old supermodel has recently used her celebrity status to co-found Kin Euphorics, a non-alcoholic drink company.
She told In Style Magazine: ‘I don’t feel the need [to drink] because I know how it will affect me at three in the morning when I wake up with horrible anxiety thinking about that one thing I said five years ago when I was in high school. There’s just this never-ending effect of, essentially, you know, pain and stress over those few drinks that didn’t really do much.’
Leona Lewis
The “Bleeding Love” singer announced her first pregnancy in March. However, the 2006 X-factor winner has never enjoyed the taste of alcohol, choosing to indulge in a Red Bull instead.
Blake Lively
Famous for playing Serena Van Der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, Lively has previously been open about her teetotalism to allure magazine: ‘ I don’t drink. I’ve never tried a drug,’ adding that clubs aren’t her scene either. ‘The music is so loud, you can’t have a conversation with somebody.’ Proving just how different the actress is from her Gossip Girl character. And she even has her own range of non-alcoholic drinks, Betty Buzz.
Jim Carrey
The Grinch actor, recently in the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, takes being a teetotal celebrity one step further. He told CBS that: ‘I rarely drink coffee. I’m very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.’
Jennifer Lopez
The singer/actress advocates for a health-conscious lifestyle. Lopez, 52, admitted to InStyle magazine in 2003: ‘I think that it ruins your skin.’
Choosing to only drink alcohol for a toast. ‘You can’t toast with water. So, I’ll toast with alcohol and just take a sip.’ Known for her youthful looks, this celebrity must be doing something right.
