Over the weekend, during her Las Vegas residency, Adele revealed that sheโs been abstaining from alcohol, admitting she was โborderline alcoholicโ during her 20s.
She spilled the beans seemingly on the fly after pointing out some front-row audience membersโ large glasses of whiskey sour.
โI stopped drinking quite a long time ago now,โ Adele said, recalling exactly when she sipped her last adult beverage. โOh, it feels like forever. Maybe, like, three and a half months ago?โ
The crowd then erupted in laughter, showing their solidarity in recognizing how protracted a period of time can feel without alcohol in the mix. The singer continued: โItโs boring! Oh my God, itโs boring. I mean, you know, I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my 20s, but I miss it so much. I cut out caffeine [too]. So, enjoy your whiskey sour. Iโm very, very jealous.โ
Not that sheโs known for filtering herself or anything, but Adele has been open about her drinking habits in the past. At another Vegas residency show earlier this year, she reportedly told the crowd that in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, sheโd down as many as โfour bottles of wineโ in one go.
However, she took a stint of sobriety not long after, saying in a 2021 interview that she stopped drinking when she lost her father to cancer.
But three and a half months of not drinking is nothing to sneeze at, and weโll raise our glasses to that.
