Tiffany Haddish Says She’s ‘Never’ Drinking Alcohol Again ‘Unless I Get Engaged’

Tiffany Haddish is enjoying her life of sobriety.

The 44-year-old actress and comedian, who shared last month that she hasn’t “had a drink” since her arrest for suspicion of a DUI in November, said she doesn’t plan on drinking alcohol again — at least not until she’s celebrating a major life moment.

She told Extra on Wednesday (May 22),

“Not drinking any alcohol. Never doing that again unless I get engaged and I can show him how crazy I get just for one day.”

She added of drinking alcohol,

“I don’t want to do it because it feels good to wake up in the morning and my elbows ain’t aching, my knees ain’t burning, and the crooks of my ankles ain’t on fire. No inflammation.”

Tiffany Haddish also clarified her decision to abstain from sex for the past few months and joked,

“I didn’t stop dating. I’m just not having intercourse, girl. I love a free meal.”

The star, who has been open about her recovery and sobriety journey, said comedy has been a saving grace.

“My comedy career definitely helped me to be vulnerable. In comedy, you have to have a certain level of vulnerability. Your mission is to tickle people’s souls right? But sometimes you gotta get them warmed up. You hit them with some hard stuff and some funny stuff. You take them on a journey.”

The “I Curse You with Joy” author noted that she is still healing in some areas from her past, such as surviving an abusive relationship and growing up in foster care.
