Lucy Kennedy gives up red wine because it makes her feel bloated

Lucy Kennedy has quit red wine as it makes her feel bloated.

The host admitted as she gets older hangovers are not worth it.

Lucy, 43, told Dublin Live: “I find red wine makes me very bloated, I don’t know what it is, I give it up for a few days at a time to be healthy for a while.”

The Livin’ With Lucy star said she’s not known for her wild nights out but as a busy mother of three she’s cut back on her alcohol consumption.

She added: “I’m not a boozy bird, I will drink at the weekends but generally I would reduce or stop drinking wine for a few days.

“I find I can’t focus hungover, I don’t know whether it’s age or whether it’s because I have 86 children but I just find it really hard to cope with a hangover, I can’t do it anymore.

“Before kids I could go out every night and not a problem, those were the days but I’m just not productive the next day and I like to get up and at it.”

The Dubliner has presented the Colm And Lucy Breakfast Show on Radio Nova for a year and cited her early starts as another reason to knock the wine on the head.
