Adele also admitted to eliminating coffee from her diet. "So, sip your whisky sour." "I'm extremely envious," Adele concluded. She previously revealed in a 2021 interview with Vogue that she has always had a tight affinity with booze. "Alcohol has always fascinated me." It's what kept my father away from me. So I was always curious as to what was so special about it." For the uninitiated, her father abandoned her when she was two years old.
