Amanda Stanton Opens Up About Cutting Out Alcohol in 2023: ‘Nothing Good Comes from Drinking’
Getting candid.
Fan-favorite Bachelor Nation star Amanda Stanton is opening up about her relationship with alcohol in a new post.
During a recent Q&A, Amanda was asked about her decision to cut out alcohol in 2023 and she was honest about why.
The mom of two said, “I kind of just realized I don’t enjoy drinking. I decided to just cut it out for a month which was easy since I'm not really a big drinker to begin with. And then after that month, it just sounded even worse to me. I was like what’s the point? Nothing good really comes from drinking and I feel like most people just do it because it’s something to do.”

Amanda went on, adding, “I used to always order a glass of wine at dinner or at a social event just because it almost felt like I had to lol. I’m not being super hard on myself to not drink this year but it’s kind of just happened naturally.”
She shared that she doesn’t plan on cutting out drinking altogether, but she just wanted to find a better balance for herself.
Amanda wrote, “I’m not against it from time to time but casually drinking at lunch, dinner, anytime I go anywhere just isn’t for me anymore. The only time this year I’ll probably have a couple drinks is when I go to Vegas in 2 weeks for Taylor Swift (other than that, I really just don’t want it.) Oh and @andidorfman’s wedding because... duh lol!”
