Leona Lewis:
British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis isn’t a fan of alcohol. In fact, she thinks it tastes disgusting. When asked about her drinking habits, the former X Factor winner admitted: “I don’t drink, I hate the taste of alcohol.”
Lewis needs her voice to be in tip-top shape at all times and drinking alcohol definitely wouldn’t help her in that regard. Have you seen her skin lately? Lewis seems to have a permanent glow about her that would likely disappear in a heartbeat where she to start knocking them back on a regular basis.
Natalie Portman:
Academy Award winner and social activist Natalie Portman hasn’t been immune to the lure of drugs and alcohol. She has admitted that during her college days, she drank and smoked a lot. But when she entered adulthood, she decided to kick both habits to the curb.
This has proven to be a wise decision for an actress of her caliber who often takes on physically demanding roles as seen in films such as ‘Black Swan’ for which she won an Oscar and the ‘Thor franchise.’ Imagine waking up with a wicked hangover and attempting to save the world alongside the god of thunder.
Jennifer Hudson:
Jennifer Hudson became a household name in 2004 when she came seventh on season three of American Idol. However, it would be her post idol life that would cement her as one of the 21st century’s most decorated musicians. With an Oscar, Golden Globe and multiple Grammys under her belt, there aren’t many awards she hasn’t won.
While that is all very impressive, what is even more impressive is the fact that Hudson did it all stone sober. The singer and actress admitted that she hass never experimented with drugs or alcohol and has no plans to start.
Shania Twain:
Country and pop music superstar Shania Twain is a five-time Grammy winner and Order of Canada recipient that has sold over 100 million records in her storied career. However, something you may not know about her is that she has also been known to subscribe to the philosophical movement of Sant Mat which requires its members to refrain from using alcohol or drugs.
The spiritual movement also promotes vegetarianism and requires daily meditation, two things Twain has no problem subscribing to. With a list of accomplishments as long as hers, staying sober has definitely paid dividends.
Blake Lively:
Lively rose to fame playing Serena van der Woodsen on the teen drama series ‘Gossip Girl’ in 2007. One hundred and twenty one episodes later, Blake is now a full-fledged movie star. She has appeared in films such as ‘The Town’ and ‘The Shallows,’ both of which were critically and commercially successful.

Like many of the characters she hass played, Lively is 100% clean and sober. She has decided that drinking isn’t something she needs in her life and admitted that she has never used drugs. That’s definitely a wise decision for a Hollywood star with two children.
Tyra Banks:
Actress, model, TV personality, businesswoman and multi-talented Cali native Tyra Bank has made a career out of looking good and telling others when they don’t. Most notably as the host of the long-running TV series America’s Next Top Model, one would assume that with so many achievements under her belt, Banks would be popping champagne on the daily. That is not the case.
She reportedly tried alcohol when she was 12, but has for the most part avoided it ever since. As someone whose profession requires them to look fantastic at all times, cutting out the hooch must have been a no brainer.
Zendaya:
Former Disney Channel series star Zendaya knocked out a star-making performance in 2017 Spider-Man homecoming which will undoubtedly lead to a slew of juicy film offers. However, you won’t find Zendaya knocking back celebratory drinks any time soon or any drinks for that matter.
In 2017, right before she was to reach the legal age in the U.S., she stated her philosophy on alcohol simply as: “Why try something if you don’t need it?” Those are some pretty wise words from a young woman on the cusp of superstardom.
Jim Carrey:
Who doesn’t love Jim Carrey. The man has a permanent place in the hearts and minds of practically every kid who grew up in the 90s. From ‘Ace Ventura’, ‘Pet Detective and The Mask’ to The ‘Truman Show,’ the man is one of the hardest-working and most successful actors of his generation.
The early 21st century has seen Carrey embrace a silver lifestyle forgoing the world of drugs and alcohol for one of peace and tranquility. He has been quoted as saying: “Life is too beautiful for such substances.” As long as he keeps turning out incredible performances, we don’t care what he drinks or doesn’t drink.
Jennifer Lopez:
With a list of awards too long to recite, a film career spanning more than two decades and a net worth in the hundreds of millions, we think it’s safe to say that JLo is no longer Jenny from the block. She has spent years surrounded by some of the world’s richest and most interesting individuals, often rubbing shoulders at awards shows and high society functions.
All that glitz and glamour could have easily led her down a path lined with unlimited worry-free shots but instead, Lopez has steered clear of alcohol. She believes it’s bad for the skin and for someone in her profession, that’s reason enough.
Tyler The Creator:
Tyler The Creator has gone from a relative unknown to a leader in the hip-hop community. Ever since 2007, he has collaborated with some of raps biggest names and is often complimented for his seemingly endless creativity and hard-working nature.
Clearly, all that creativity is coming from within as the rapper is reportedly not a fan of drugs or alcohol and allegedly practices a straightedge lifestyle.
