Bella Hadid Opens up About Quitting Alcohol
Bella Hadid gets candid about why she chose to quit drinking alcohol. The Victoria Secret model, 25, shared how bad her drinking spiraled during an interview with InStyle.
“I have done my fair share of drinking. I loved alcohol and it got to the point where even I started to, you know, cancel nights out that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to control myself.”

Hadid shared one of the reasons why she ditched the bottle after she saw a brain scan of how alcohol affects the brain which made it difficult to “reach for a glass.”
“I don’t feel the need to drink alcohol because I know how it will affect me at 3 in the morning when I wake up with horrible anxiety thinking about that one thing I said five years ago when I graduated high school. There’s just this never-ending effect of, essentially, you know, pain and stress over those few drinks that didn’t really do much, you know?”
idk who that bella hadid person is, but I’m glad she’s being brutally honest with how alcohol affects her. At her young age, she could save a lot of lives by being an example. I am proud of her.

The model was arrested in 2014 for a DUI at the age of seventeen. According to her mother, reality star Yolanda Hadid, the model’s license was suspended for a year. She also had six months probation, had to do twenty hours of community service, and attend twenty hours of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. The secret of Hadid’s DUI was revealed in an episode of Real House Wives of Beverly Hills and how alcoholism runs in the family. Yolanda shared her fears in a blog for Bravo.

“My ‘what if’ button went from zero to 10 in a split second, because my greatest fear is to lose any of my children in a car accident the way I lost my father when I was only seven years old. I decided to take her phone away, make her pay for her own lawyer bills from her savings, and we sold her car.”
Thankfully, Hadid quit drinking six months ago. She is now a co-founder of Kin Euphorics, non-acholic beverages filled with adaptogenic herbs, nootropics, and botanicals. Hadid implemented Lightwave, a beverage containing lavender, vanilla, and passionflower. She’s substituted this for a glass of wine. Fans can keep up with Bella Hadid and her sobriety journey on her Instagram.
