Booze Hawker J. Lo: I Do Drink but Not to ‘Get S**t-Faced’.
Jennifer Lopez has left her fans 'confused' after she shared a new Instagram video talking about her relationship with alcohol - saying she enjoyed the 'occasional cocktail' but didn't get 's***-faced.'
The 53-year-old singer took to Instagram on Monday and posted a lengthy clip defending herself against critics who blasted her choice to launch her alcohol brand, Delola, despite previously admitting she didn't drink.
JLo looked her usual glamorous self in a sleeveless camel-colored jumpsuit, that featured an oversized collar and a zip-up front.
The mother-of-two accessorized with a pair of oversized sunglasses and hoop earrings as well as a gold personalized necklace while addressing her 248 million followers.
'So I'm on my way to sneak out to go and get some Delola,' Jennifer began in the video.
'We have a few people coming over for the holiday weekend and I realized that we don't have any. I thought we would but we don't. So I'm gonna go to the store and get some, hopefully they have it there,' she laughed.
Sitting in the front passenger seat of the moving vehicle, Jennifer continued: 'I'm really excited, I love holiday weekends, I love spending time with family and friends and having a little cocktail.
'I know that a lot of people have been talking about like, "Oh she doesn't even drink, what's she doing with a cocktail?" And to tell you the truth, that was true for a long time, I didn't drink.
'A few years back, as you will see from several photos of me out over the past 10, maybe 15 years, I have been having the occasional cocktail.
'I do enjoy the occasional cocktail. I do drink responsibly, I don't drink to get s***-faced. I drink to be social and to have a nice time and just kind of relax and to let loose a little bit, but always responsibly,' she revealed.
'I have to tell you, I tried a lot of different things, cocktails, I was into White Russians at one point, I was into rosé, but I never found anything that I really loved, and so like anything else in my life, I created it myself.'
The On The Floor hitmaker then filmed herself going into a local liquor store and she was delighted when she found some bottles of Delola.
The owners of the store, as well as other customers, were thrilled when they realized who she was and quickly asked to take photos, and even started playing her music.
However, some of Jennifer's Instagram followers were less impressed with the video due to the fact that her husband, Ben Affleck, is sober.
Taking to the comments section, one person claimed: 'So awkward when she talks about drinking responsibly and not getting s***-faced knowing her husband [suffered] from alcoholism for years.'
Another person wrote: 'I'm just confused about her talking about alcohol and cocktails when her husband is an alcoholic… who is allegedly in recovery? Makes no sense at all and I find it very difficult to understand.'
A third person commented: 'So s
