She Goes To Las Vegas To Celebrate Her Success
This trip had another special meaning to it because she was there to host the grand opening of Stanton Social Prime restaurant at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino.
Mental Health
Hadid says that “She wants to hold herself accountable as she talks about her anxiety.” Ultimately admitting that alcohol was bad for her mental health.
Kin Drinks
Bella Hadid became a co-founder and partner of Kin Drinks around Sept. 2021. She claims that this drink has changed her life. It has helped with the fog in her brain due to Lyme disease, her anxiety and the constant stress and burnout from traveling a lot and not having a healthy life schedule.
Hadid states that the botanical-infused alcohol-free drink has helped her enhance her focus on a daily basis and it also brings out the creative side of her personality even more.
Why did She Go Sober?
“I don’t feel the need [to drink alcohol] because I know how it will affect me at 3 in the morning when I wake up with horrible anxiety thinking about that one thing I said five years ago when I graduated high school.” says Hadid.
While she was doing an interview with InStyle magazine, Hadid stated that “There’s just this never-ending effect of, essentially, you know, pain and stress over those few drinks that didn’t really do much, you know?.”
Bella Hadid And Her Relationship with Alcohol
“I have done my fair share of drinking. I loved alcohol, and it got to the point where I even started to, you know, cancel nights out that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to control myself,” says Hadid.
Why Does Alcohol Cause Anxiety
“Alcohol has an effect on brain chemistry – it can induce panic because of its effects on GABA, a chemical in the brain that normally has a relaxing effect. Small amounts of alcohol can stimulate GABA and cause feelings of relaxation, but heavy drinking can deplete GABA, causing increased tension and feelings of panic.” an article from Drink aware says.
Anxiety On Sundays Is A Struggle For Everyone
Because when you are out partying with all your friends and getting drunk you tend to forget what you said and what you did, and this creates severe overthinking the next day. This leads to overthinking your entire night or other things that have happened in your past instead of having a good night with your friends.
Alcohol dehydrates your body, which is why the next day you feel sick and terrible. When you feel this way you don’t want to move and you feel as if you don’t have enough brain cells to start with the week ahead, which at the end of the day makes you feel remorseful because you don’t feel capable to perform “correctly” with other aspects of your life.
