Rosie's View on Booze: I Quit

Posted Feb 8, 08 3:15 PM CST in Gossip Arts & Living 

(Newser) – The wagon just got a little more crowded. Rosie O'Donnell is off the sauce, in her case beer, Extra reports. The comedian/talk show host/blogger squashed rumors of alcoholism and denied that partner Kelli Carpenter asked her to quit, instead tying the move to an attempt to lose weight. "It's not easy, but I feel better" blogged O'Donnell.

"What led you to stopping the beer? Just spit it out! Don't go all Star Jones on us here," posted one fan on Rosie.com. O'Donnell's response: "Cause I was drinking too much, cause I didn't want to any more, cause it is hard to lose weight when drinking, cause I can never have only one."
