“I remember that one time … I bought a round of drinks for everyone and I knew I was completely crushed and I shouldn’t be buying a drink for myself,” she said.

“But the line was so long that I kept thinking, ‘If I’m at the front of the line to buy drinks, I probably need one!’ It was so bad.’

She continued, “I remember the next day my then-husband was driving and I had to get him to stop so I could pull over to the curb. How bad is that? It’s just awful that we think people live their lives like that.’

The 3 p.m. Pick Up presenter added that she’s turned to social groups that aren’t centered around drinking, like running and exercising.

“So I wanted people to say, ‘Okay, I don’t care, but I have to cook.’ I wanted something to give them.’
