At a show in Las Vegas over the weekend, 16-time Grammy Award-winning singer Adele revealed that she recently made the decision to go sober, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

“I stopped drinking maybe like three and a half months ago,” Adele said, per the Daily Mail. “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.”

Spotting a fan with a drink, Adele said: “So enjoy your whiskey sour. I’m very, very jealous.”

In March, Adele told fans that she once drank four bottles of wine before lunch.

“I remember when I came here in Covid, in lockdown, it was 11 a.m. and I was definitely like four bottles of wine in – like we all were,” she said at the time. “I said in 2020 that I wanted to put my album out. And we were all at home just drunk basically.”

This isn’t Adele’s first attempt at sobriety. In October 2021, she told Vogue she quit drinking for the sake of preserving her voice. In the same interview, she explained her relationship with booze, saying she’s always been “very fascinated” with alcohol.

“It’s what kept my dad from me. So I always wanted to know what was so great about it,” she said.

Adele once famously got so drunk she appeared to forget she was famous and was recorded asking a group of people “How does everyone know it’s me?”

In February, musical artist Lizzo said she and Adele got so drunk at the Grammy Awards that they “didn’t even really know what the categories were.”
