"The singer expressed their sentiments about sobriety, stating, 'It's just so dull, oh my goodness!.


Adele announced her decision to stop drinking during a performance in Las Vegas.


After engaging with VIP guests regarding their "whiskey sour" orders during her Saturday show, the singer briefly touched on her journey towards sobriety. "You know, I quit drinking a considerable while back... it feels like an eternity. Maybe around three and a half months ago?" Adele shared.


The singer's tone didn't exude much excitement about this milestone. "It's mundane. Oh my goodness, it's mundane," she remarked. "I mean, I practically teetered on the edge of alcoholism for a good chunk of my twenties. I yearn for it so much that I even eliminated caffeine, so enjoy your whiskey sour. I'm terribly, terribly envious."


This marks a recurring theme for the 'I Drink Wine' artist, addressing both indulgence and sobriety. In her One Night Only television special back in 2021, Adele revealed to Oprah Winfrey that she had embraced sobriety. "I made the decision to stop drinking," she shared during the broadcast. "One significant way to truly acquaint oneself is by sipping water and maintaining absolute sobriety."

In 2021, she confided to Vogue, "I've always harbored a very intimate connection with alcohol. It held a certain mystique for me, always tethering my father away. I was perpetually curious about its allure."


Earlier this year, while addressing a Las Vegas crowd, the singer disclosed that she once consumed "four bottles of wine" before 11 a.m. during the COVID-19 lockdown.


Adele is currently in the concluding phase of her Las Vegas residency, titled Weekends with Adele, which commenced on November 18, 2022. Her final performance is scheduled for November 4.
