What Did Valerie Bertinelli Say About Cutting Back On Alcohol?

Earlier this month, Valerie told People that cutting back on alcohol has actually been quite easy for her. And if she does ever want some alcohol, she won't deny herself.

"I'm actually shocked at how hard it's not," Valerie told People in an interview which was published earlier this month. "Because for a long time, I leaned on it. Right now, I love how I feel more than how the alcohol makes me feel. I found that I do naturally hum at happy."

"I don't need anything to amplify my happiness right now," she continued, adding: "I feel high just on life. I recently went out to dinner with a friend, and I had ginger ale in a wine glass. And it felt like I was celebrating." But if she does ever want a glass of wine or a cocktail? "If I really, really want to have a drink, I will," she stated.
