Anne Hathawayis a sober woman!
In a new interview withVanity Fair, theDevil Wears Pradastar, 41, explained why she decided to give up alcohol as part of a personal transformation that she’s had over the past five years.
“I knew deep down it wasn’t for me,” she said of drinking, adding that it was difficult to have to tell people she was completely abstaining initially.
“It just felt so extreme to have to say, ‘Butnone?’ But none,” she admitted.
Eventually, Hathaway realized something that made her stop being hard on herself for her choice.

“If you’re allergic to something or have an anaphylactic reaction to something, you don’t argue with it. So I stopped arguing with it,” theInterstellarstar said, clarifying that she doesn’t judge anyone who chooses to drink.
Hathaway’s decision to stop drinking coincided with her adjusting to becominga mom of two. Her oldest son with husbandAdam Shulman, Johnathan Rosebanks, turned 8 on Sunday. Their youngest son Jack is 3.
TheRachel Getting Marriedstar also decided to eliminate other unhealthy habits from her life as much as possible, like social media.
“I make a lot of my lifestyle choices in service of supporting mental health,” she said. “I stopped participating in things that I know to be draining or can cause spirals. I actually don’t have a relationship with myself online.”
The Oscar winner said she’s also learned to be kinder to herself on sets than she was at the height of her fame in her 20s, especially when she’s feeling stressed.

“Now I feel much safer going to someone in charge, pulling them to the side, and explaining, ‘I’m going through this right now,’ " she continued. “Most people will sit there with you for the 10 minutes it takes for you to come back down.”
