Adele’s Las Vegas residency seems to be going well, after months of confusion last year. There are consistent headlines from her show about Adele being sweet to fans, or chatting with people in between songs. She loves to hear from newlyweds and she’s definitely projecting the fact that she wants to marry Rich Paul, her boyfriend of several years. At a recent show, Adele also confessed something interesting: she stopped drinking booze three-and-a-half months ago.
Adele revealed she has stopped drinking for three and a half months while talking at her Vegas show this weekend. She claimed she was ‘borderline alcoholic’ when she was in her 20s and admitted she was finding her new-found sobriety ‘boring’ and admitted she ‘misses alcohol.’
Adele, 35, said: ‘I stopped drinking maybe like three and a half months ago. It’s boring. I mean, I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my twenties, but I miss it so much. I cut out caffeine.’
Talking to a fan who was drinking all day she added: ‘So enjoy your whiskey sour. I’m very, very jealous.’
In March, Adele revealed she once drank four bottles of wine before lunch during a Covid-19 lockdown. She was holding a glass of wine on stage in Las Vegas while making the confession. According to the Daily Star, she told fans on Saturday night: ‘I remember when I came here in Covid, in lockdown, it was 11am and I was definitely like four bottles of wine in – like we all were. I said in 2020 that I wanted to put my album out. And we were all at home just drunk basically.’
When Adele began to lose so much weight in her 30s, I often referenced Adele’s comments in 2015, where she talked about giving up “sugary tea,” a staple of many British people’s diets. They love a cup of tea with some milk and sugar, and Adele was drinking ten cups a day. I always sort of wondered about her alcohol intake too, and I believe she’s probably always been a big drinker. Anyway, I’ve been alcohol-free for years and years now and I don’t find it boring! It is an adjustment when you first get sober though, maybe her sleep patterns still haven’t recovered. Now, I would never be able to cut out caffeine. I would cut off my own arm before I gave up caffeine.

Damn. I thought I was a heavy drinker but 4 bottles of wine before lunch is crazy to me.
I like wine but we drink a bottle in 2 people, over 2 days once a week… and my husband complains it’s too much lol
I come from a culture where there’s always been alcohol at meals and I never got used to the trend in the UK where people drink for the sake of it.
A friend of mine used to say “I drink wine by the gallon, at any time during the day” and could never wrap my head around it, God forbid you were suggesting that was an addiction…
To be fair, I gave up alcohol for 20 years (due to anorexia, as all the calories were bad in my idea) but now it would be very difficult to stop altogether.
I also put no sugar in my teas or coffees.
4 bottles of wine before lunch!!! I can’t even imagine 4 bottles of wine over the course of an entire day, and I drink pretty regularly.
Now I will say that March/April 2020 was a weird time, and I know my drinking increased significantly during those months. But still, not that much.
She’s telling herself that to make it through. I did too. NEVER giving up caffeine though. I heard it dehydrates you though and I’m at that age where stuff like that should matter…
Caffeine has a mild dehydrating effect, but it is from making you pee more, not actually sucking water out of your body cells. However, the volume of coffee you drink totally counts as a liquid, so as long as you are drinking water when thirsty, you’re fine.
When I turned 38 I found alcohol boring. When you had as many drunken nights, parties, barbecues and solo drink as you want, at some point it starts losing the appeal
Non-drinker here. I pretty much stopped drinking during university and the only bad thing is many restaurants don’t have a decent selection of healthier non-alcoholic drinks like kombucha or ginger beer etc, but I don’t feel like I’m missing out or that it’s boring to not drink even if other people are drinking, that’s a strange sentiment IMO. It tells me that she hasn’t got much holding her interest otherwise, which is a bit sad.
Not all Brits have sugary tea – I normally have decaf tea with not much milk and never sugar! Makes it taste horrible to me and would definitely make it too easy to add excess sugar into a diet. I go for decaf coffee too (with oat milk), very occasionally I have caffeinated coffee if I’m driving or something but it doesn’t seem to do much for me haha.
Chemo and stem cell transplants made alcohol distasteful to me and, 2 years later, I’m still not drinking. Even a tiny amount makes me both nauseous and seriously disrupts my sleep, so I haven’t touched a drop in ages and even gave away all my wine and wine fridge. I have managed to stay in remission significantly longer than expected and we think it might be because I am a teetotaler. Alcohol depresses the immune system and as I have an immune system cancer, it makes sense. To be fair, it makes me feel horrible almost immediately, so it was easy enough to give up for me, but I feel fortunate that I got this rare side effect.
Wishing you continued remission on your journey @RMS, take care of yourself.
Yes, RMS – wishing you continued remission!
I cut down on alcohol a few years back, partly due to my job suddenly being more demanding and public, but also because my body just doesn’t like it anymore and I feel crappier physically after even just a few drinks. As you get into your 30s and 40s, your body just doesn’t metabolize alcohol the same. I wish Adele (and Kaiser!) well in her sobriety.
This must have happened to me – I am nearly 40, and very abruptly (like within the last few months) alcohol lost nearly all its appeal/my body doesn’t care for it anymore. I now *maybe* have a glass of wine or a beer a week? I used to be in the military, so have a long history of drinking like a champ with the guys, and like so many people, probably had a bit too much overall during Pandemic Times…so this is an interesting (and welcome) new development.
But you can pry my (caffeinated) morning coffee from my cold dead fingers! 😆
I barely drink but when I do it’s Cayman Jack Margarita beer. I love that sh!t.
Same, if I have more than 1 or 2 glasses of wine a month it’s a lot. Even then, it’s usually the Costco Kirkland sangria for me. I buy 2 bottles when it comes out in the spring and it lasts me til the next spring.
But have never been a big drinker. Been flat out drunk once in my entire life, in my late 20’s, and the hangover recovery was miserable. Do not understand why people would want to experience that more than once, the few hours of drinking “fun” followed by a day and half of misery was not worth it.
Looking back through my drinking history I tend to cycle through 5 years off, 2-3 years on. I had been 100% booze-free for over 5 years leading up to the lock-down, then started up in early 2020. Now I’m over it again. My tolerance builds up and it turns into going from sober to hungover with nothing fun in between. Time to finish up whatever’s in the house and then let it go for a few years. (I don’t do anything else, so booze-free is sober across the board.)
Always wanted to be able to have a drink but my body just doesnt like it – it falls asleep and/or it vomits and/or it passes out… and my personal gusta finds it smells oh so so nice but *barf*, it doesnt taste what it smells so absolutely no alcohol for me. Ive drank 1 full corona beer on my own my whole life and im in my mid 40’s. Always had a blast going out, even without alcohol. So im not feeling Adele’s comment about it being boring! Get a hobby Adele 😂
Surely that’s an exaggeration because even four glasses in before lunch would be a lot.
I find Adele boring…. Joking aside whatever is necessary to have a healthy & happy life….
