Why did Bella Hadid stop drinking?
Talking to W magazine, she said, “My body does not do well with alcohol. And in the fashion industry, we work a lot. So we feel like at night we can play a lot, and then wake up and do it again. And I realized that is not a sustainable life for me to live.”
The Charlotte Tilbury ambassador revealed that back in her college days, she would drink alcohol on a daily basis. The 26-year-old confessed, “I used to drink a lot in college. After a full day of school, then I would have to go to castings and then go get my art supplies and I would get home and I would drink a bottle of wine and call it a day.”
Bella shared came to a realization that drinking is just not her thing, since it had the power to induce anxiety in her. She explained that she no longer “feel the need [to drink] 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.”
Meanwhile, Hadid has discussed her battle with depression and anxiety before as well. She’s talked about the never-ending effects of alcohol that can induce pain and stress.
