In February 2020 interview with People, Kelly Ripa said she unintentionally stopped drinking when she and her friends decided to have a "sober month" a few years ago.
"We all did it together and I just never went back to it. It wasn't even really a thought process. It felt great, I felt like I looked great, I felt like I didn't feel hungover," she told the publication, adding that she wasn't a heavy drinker, but two glasses of wine would leave her not feeling great the next morning.
The "Live with Kelly and Ryan" host said she doesn't have any desire to go back to drinking, adding, "It wasn't really a choice or a thought, it was just, 'Yeah, I guess I don't drink anymore.'"
