BAND OF AA BROTHERS & SISTERS –
Sept. 2025 – (Photo: Shania Twain) One thing country music is known for? Drinkin’ songs. For some, there’s nothing like tipping back a cold one to a tune about tipping back a cold one. Despite the genre’s ability to craft the perfect “crack a cold one” track, there are several stars who have chosen to abstain from the bottle completely: They’ve gone sober!
A select few have never touched the stuff, while others have had to initiate a nasty breakup in order to live a better life. Actually, that’s most of the artists on our list. Sadly, many have fallen prey to alcohol, and it all but wrecked their lives.
Those artists credit friends, family, bandmates and spouses for staging interventions and encouraging them to get the help they needed. For others, it was a wakeup call moment — like a DUI — that made them realize that drinking was leading them down the path to a person they never wanted to be.
