15 Artists Who Don't Drink

Artists like Demi Lovato, Logic, Jennifer Lopez, and more have publicly admitted to leading a sober lifestyle – and it’s not an easy feat, considering the perpetual temptations that exist when you have unlimited access to nearly everything as a celebrity. While some celebs made the decision early on not to drink, others came to that conclusion later in life – sometimes after battling with addiction. Whatever the reason for their ultimate decision not to imbibe, the choice is a personal one. Read on to find out why the following 15 stars decided to stop drinking once and for all.

4. Lucy Hale

Lucy Hale told Us Weekly she actively chose not to be part of the party scene in Hollywood, saying, “I’m just always trying to surround myself with better people and be the best version of myself possible. I know it sounds obnoxious to hear people say that, but why not?”
