Actress Drew Barrymore believes that quitting alcohol was among the most "liberating" things she`s ever done. The 47-year-old actress has described her decision to quit alcohol as "one of the most liberating things in (her) journey of life", reports femalefirst.co.uk. In her magazine titled Drew, she explained: "One of the bravest things you can do is slay those dragons and finally change an awful cycle in which you`ve found yourself stuck. For me, it was to stop drinking."

Barrymore said that her life has been transformed by her decision to quit drinking. She added: "During the holidays, when we spend so much energy trying to measure up to the picture-perfect standards set by the Norman Rockwells of the world, I`d like for you to try to remember to give yourself a pass - a hug, as it were - and I will try, too."
"Take a moment, take a breath, and give yourself a squeeze. We`re all just doing our best out here. And that in and of itself is something to celebrate." The actress opened up about her relationship with alcohol during a TV interview in 2021. The actress - who shot to fame in the early 80s, when she starred in `E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial` - explained: "I`m gonna say something for the first time in a long time - I have not had a drink of alcohol in two-and-a-half years. It was something that I realised just did not serve me and my life."
