She continued, “My last hangover lasted for five days. When I’m at a stage in my life where there is enough space for me to have a hangover, I’ll start drinking again, but that won’t be until my kid is out of the house.”

Anne said, “But, I just want to make this clear: Most people don’t have to do such an extreme thing. I don’t think drinking is bad.
