“I consider many other things as significant moments in my life. It’s not something I usually discuss, but I have been sober for over five years, and that truly feels like an important milestone to me. Turning forty also feels like a precious gift,” shared Hathaway in an interview with The New York Times.
The actor also expressed her discomfort with labeling herself as middle-aged, stating that “we can’t definitively say this is the middle age.”
Hathaway expressed her hesitation in using the term “middle age” due to her attention to semantics and the unpredictable nature of life. “The fact of the matter is I hesitate at calling things ‘middle age’ simply because I can be a semantic stickler and I could get hit by a car later today,” Hathaway stated.
During her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in January 2019, Hathaway opened up about her decision to quit alcohol.
Anne Hathaway revealed in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that she made the decision to give up drinking in October. She explained that she made this choice because she didn’t feel completely satisfied with her drinking habits and wanted to be fully present for her son, especially in the mornings when he needs her the most. This decision reflects her commitment to being a responsible and present parent.
In an April 2019 interview with Modern Luxury, she clarified that she gave up drinking not because she had an alcohol problem, but because she experienced severe hangovers.
In a recent interview with Modern Luxury, Hathaway revealed that her most recent hangover lasted a grueling five days. She humorously remarked that she is currently at a stage in her life where she needs enough free time to recover from a hangover. However, she also mentioned that she won’t be indulging in alcohol until her child is grown and out of the house. Hathaway’s candid statement highlights her commitment to prioritizing her responsibilities as a parent.
Hathaway and her husband Adam Shulman have been happily married for 12 years and are proud parents to two adorable boys, Jonathan, aged 8, and Jack, aged 4.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair in March, Hathaway shared how her decision to quit alcohol has positively impacted her mental health.
“It’s a journey that each person must undertake on their own,” Hathaway explained. “From my own personal experience, I can say that everything improves. It served as fuel for me to overcome challenges, rather than dwelling on them.”
According to a report from the CDC, hangovers resulted in a loss of productivity amounting to nearly $90 billion in 2010, as reported by The Atlantic.
Hangover symptoms can vary from person to person, but they generally include fatigue, headache, and nausea, among other unpleasant sensations.
Research has also discovered that a hangover can still have an impact on an individual even after the alcohol has been eliminated from their system.
In addition to Dry January, individuals can explore alternative approaches to reduce their alcohol intake, such as the “One Week No Booze Method.”
