Why Bella Hadid Decided to Stop Consuming Alcohol
Bella Hadid is celebrating Dry January for the first time. The model will be cutting her alcohol consumption throughout the month.
Bella Hadid is one of the most beloved names in fashion today, winning a legion of fans and contracts with acclaimed international brands, resulting in a brilliant and inspiring career at 25 years old. And even with all the glamour of the catwalks and paparazzi, the model makes a point of showing her more vulnerable side by speaking candidly with her followers about depression, anxiety, and more. Now, Hadid is talking about another issue involving her health: alcohol.
“My body doesn't look good with alcohol,” revealed the model to W. “And in the fashion industry, we work a lot. So we feel like at night we can have fun, and then wake up and do it again. And I realized that it's not a sustainable life for me.”
The model revealed that she used to drink a lot in college. “After a whole day of school, I had to go to castings and then go get my art supplies and I would come home and drink a bottle of wine and end the day,” she explained.
For the publication, Hadid revealed that she is celebrating her first Dry January, a time in which people often forego alcohol after the raucous end-of-year celebrations.
In September 2021, Bella unveiled her new role as Co-Founder of Kin Euphorics, a non-alcoholic beverage brand that, according to Hadid, “is the first drink to use adaptogens and focus on brain health, while expanding our mind and calming our nervous system.” The model has been consuming this beverage since 2019.
That same month, the model was already making plans to cut her alcohol consumption in an interview with Vogue. “Socially, I don't drink as much as I used to,” revealed Hadid. "You can have a shot of whiskey to feel better for 20 minutes or you can drink Kin every day to feel better for life."
