Emily Andrea opens up on decision to ditch booze after suffering bloating and sleepless nights

ok.co.uk:

Denise van Outen has revealed she has quit drinking because she wanted to go into her late forties feeling fit and healthy. She said, “People started to say I looked better, and I felt brighter.” I also felt loads better after I stopped drinking.

I used to get horrible hangovers, I felt bloated and I didn’t sleep well. A lot of drinking comes from social pressure and Denise said some people have called her boring.

In the beginning, I didn’t know if I wanted to tell people I didn’t drink, but now I don’t care. You wouldn’t tell someone they are boring for not smoking.

I just think you have to own the decision. No one has ever told me I’m boring for not drinking, but if they did it wouldn’t bother me.
