Alison Hammond has shared how she's given up alcohol, revealing that her life "really is wonderful" after going teetotal. The presenter was chatting to Dermot O'Leary, Gyles Brandreth and Alison Phillips on This Morning about the increasing number of people becoming teetotal when she opened up about her own sobriety.
"You feel so much better when you go out and have a really good time, you dance all night long, you don't have a drink - you can go to bed. You wake up lovely. Honestly, my life is great - it really is wonderful," she said. "Teetotal is the way forward."
She added that when she does drink alcohol, it takes her days to get over the hangover. "When I have a little drink, I feel like I have to recover for three days."

Not everyone was impressed however, with Dermot saying: "Boring," before adding: "You don't drink much." Alison replied: "I don't but when I do, I have a Baileys. Christmas and Boxing Day, I'm out, I'm done."
Meanwhile, Gyles added that he hasn't touched a drop of alcohol for 25 years. "Interestingly, my children - particularly the boys, my sons-in-law and my son - have given up drinking," he said. "I think they feel better. They're more into fitness, they're doing weights."
Dermot was putting his case forward for those who still enjoy a glass of wine or two, saying: "You can do both. It's not like you have to go out and live like a monk.
"I'm perfectly happy to have a couple of glasses of wine and then feel fine and get up the next day and go for a run. We're in this weird world of extremes now. You just hydrate."
