The Londoner admits she "was literally borderline alcoholic."
Adele opened up to fans during her show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas over the weekend, telling them she has quit drinking.
She admitted during her Weekends with Adele residency: "I stopped drinking maybe like three and a half months ago. It's boring. I mean, I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my 20s, but I miss it so much."
"So enjoy your whiskey sour. I’m very, very jealous," she joked.
While speaking with US Vogue last year the singer confessed her drinking was getting "earlier and earlier."
"I’ve always had a very close relationship with alcohol," she said.

"I was always very fascinated by alcohol. It’s what kept my dad from me. So, I always wanted to know what was so great about it."
She came to realise how drinking left her vulnerable to the media: "They descend, and descend, and descend on you, which drives you f***ing mad."
After her father passed away in 2021 she professed to Oprah Winfrey that she stopped consuming alcohol.
"That’s one great way of really sort of getting to know yourself, is just drinking water and being sober as anything," she said.
