ABSTINENCE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE –
Nov. 8, 2023 – She told the crowd that she plans to celebrate the end of the second leg of her shows: ‘I’m just going to chill. I’m annoyed as well that I’m sick because this is red wine weather,’ she said.
‘I stopped drinking, but obviously now I’m ready to start again because it is my break.’ Adele said she has been forced to cut out her favourite drink of red wine because it plays havoc with her voice.
‘I can’t drink red wine ever when I’m singing because I don’t know about you, but red wine f***s me up. I cannot handle it,’ she explained, adding her drink of choice is now half sparkling water and half white wine with ice.
‘A glass of red wine tips me over the edge. I have the worst hangover, my whole mouth and tongue turns red. I look like a disaster and it just gets rid of my voice.’
Revealing she has been battling illness, Adele said she had an expensive bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine stored away but she will have to wait to ‘treat myself’.
In October Adele revealed she had stopped drinking for three and a half months and claimed she was ‘borderline alcoholic’ when she was in her 20s.’
Adele, 35, told the crowd at one of her Vegas gigs: ‘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.’
