Three months after launching her line of low-calorie bottled cocktails, Delola, Jennifer Lopez is challenging the perception that as a non-drinker, it’s weird for her to sell booze. Because she does drink, actually, thankyouverymuch.
“You know what, I know that a lot of people have been talking about, ‘Oh, she doesn’t even drink, what’s she doing with a cocktail out?’ And to tell you the truth, for a long time I didn’t drink,” the “Jenny From The Block” singer said in an Instagram video.

“Years back, as you will see from several photos of me out, over the past 10, maybe 15 years, I have been, you know, having the occasional cocktail. I do enjoy the occasional cocktail. I do drink responsibly, I don’t drink to get sh–tfaced. I drink to be social and to have a nice time and just relax and let loose a bit, but always responsibly.”
Put another way, she doesn’t get JLoaded.
So…there you have it? Her admission reminds us of another recent pivot: Blake Lively adding booze to her line of beverages, even though she also, famously, abstains (this move also got a bit of backlash).
