Adele said she was forced to give up her favorite drink, red wine, because it was destroying her voice.
“I can never drink red wine when I’m singing, because I don’t know about you, but red wine kills me. I can’t handle it,” she explained, adding that her drink of choice is now half sparkling water and half white wine on the rocks.
‘A glass of red wine makes me fall over the edge. I have the worst hangover, my whole mouth and tongue are turning red. I look like a disaster and my voice just disappears.”
Adele revealed she has been battling an illness and said she has stashed away an expensive bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine, but will have to wait before she can ‘treat myself’.
In October, Adele revealed that she had stopped drinking for three and a half months claimed she was a “borderline alcoholic” in her 20s.’
Adele, 35, told the crowd during one of her Vegas performances: ‘I stopped drinking maybe three and a half months ago. It’s boring. I mean, I was literally a borderline alcoholic for much of my twenties, but I miss it so much. I cut out the caffeine.”
Speaking to a fan who had been drinking all day, she added: ‘So enjoy your whiskey sour. I’m very jealous.’
In March, Adele revealed she once drank four bottles of wine for lunch during a Covid-19 lockdown.
