Hollywood has long been associated with excess, and alcohol is very much part of that culture. Yet a number of well-known faces have made the deliberate choice to live without it. For some, it simply comes down to personal preference, while for others, the journey to sobriety came after a genuine struggle with drinking.
Read on to discover the celebrities who have embraced an alcohol-free life, whether by choice or out of necessity.
