These Are 37 Celebrities Who Don’t Drink Alcohol

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at JMU chapter.

When most people think about the lives of celebrities, champagne-soaked parties usually come to mind. What, with all of the parties, after-parties, and hotel lobbies, it’s not crazy to think that all celebrities get their drank on most days of the week. However, a surprising amount of celebrities don’t drink, which is actually pretty cool.

I gathered as much publicly as I could from the World Wide Web to compile this comprehensive rundown of celebrity teetotalers in one place. From Jennifer Hudson to James Franco, here are 37 celebrities who never drink.

1. Blake Lively

This Gossip Girl star has never touched a drop of alcohol. She’d rather chill with the sexiest man alive, Ryan Reynolds.

2. Dane Cook

Comedian, Dane Cook, has often alluded to his father drinking too much, so now he’s sober.

3. Eric Clapton

He’s been sober since 1987 after battling a heroin and alcohol addiction.

4. Jim Carrey

In the words of Jim Carrey, “life is too beautiful” to drink or do drugs. Fair.

5. Shania Twain

Twain doesn’t drink or do drugs. She’s also a vegetarian.

6. Tyler, The Creator

Sources close to the rapper say he is “straight-edge.”

7. Eminem

He’s been sober for nine years after battling with addiction.

8. Chris Martin

Gwyneth Paltrow’s healthiness must have rubbed off on Martin during their marriage because he doesn’t drink anymore.

She has struggled with alcoholism and didn’t even think she would make it past 30.

10. Rob Lowe

He recently celebrated 25 years of sobriety.

11. Jennifer Lopez

J Lo doesn’t drink because it’s bad for your skin, which makes sense because she looks the same way she did 15 years ago.

12. Daniel Radcliffe

He apparently struggled to return to reality after the Harry Potter franchise ended, but has been sober for two years.

13. Bruce Willis

He went from promoting Seagram’s Wine Coolers to sobriety. We don’t blame because that ‘ish is gross.

14. Sarah Silverman

The comedian has struggled with depression since a young age, so she has chosen to be sober.

15. Kim Kardashian

She’s too busy to be hungover, so this lady doesn’t drink at all.
