Luann de Lesseps Opens Up About Her Decision Not To Drink Alcohol During COVID-19 Pandemic!

Luann de Lesseps opened up about her decision not to drink again during the coronavirus pandemic. “I’m so glad during quarantine to not have to deal with drinking,” the Real Housewives of New York City star told Us Weekly. “I feel like if I was drinking during quarantine, I’d be drinking a lot.”

Lesseps explained that wasn’t always easy to stay away from alcohol while filming the current season of the Bravo hit reality series.

“You know, it’s just — I wouldn’t say pressure. You just feel like you’re kind of, non-included, you kind of feel like, you know, you’re out of the group somehow,” she told Us. “And so I thought, you know what, I’m going to drink.”

The mother-of-two noted that when she was drinking and working on the series, she focused on being “diligent about it and careful.” She noted that she’s “responsible” with her consumption.

“I made that decision and, you know, so did Leah [McSweeney],” she continued. “And sometimes we handle it better than others to say, ‘We still have a while to go.’”

She added, “Have you ever seen me sloppy drunk besides falling into a bush — which was a lot — which was funny, right? We’ve all been [there],” she said. “I was a happy drunk.”
