Valerie Bertinelli Reveals the Surprising Reason Why She Stopped Drinking Alcohol

TO AVOID CANCER? –

Sept. 28, 2024 – “I actually think a lot of it has to do with aging,” Bertinelli, 64, tells PEOPLE. “I think the older you get, the less you really want to really be putting that in your body. I mean, anybody can do whatever the heck they want, but I feel better.”

Now that several months have passed since she gave up alcohol, Bertinelli says she rarely craves a glass of wine or drink anymore. 

“I don’t miss it because I don’t miss how it actually made me feel either after having it or the next day,” says Bertinelli.

In early September, PEOPLE exclusively announced the former Food Network star is the newest “Drew Crew” member, and will make regular appearances on Barrymore’s show on different lifestyle segments. Her favorites so far have been those surrounding wellness.
