Jane Fonda Reveals Why She Stopped Drinking Alcohol

Jane Fonda may be forever swilling an ice-cold martini when in character on Grace and Frankie, but, in real life, the actress has recently become a full-blown Sober Girl.

In an interview with CBS News about the final season of the show, Fonda revealed that she stopped drinking. “And here's why: It's because even with one drink, like, if I had a martini tonight, I would be at half-mast tomorrow,” she explained. “Now, that wasn't true when I was younger. But as you get older, I think alcohol affects you differently. And I only have so many tomorrows left. I don't want to be at half-mast for any of them!”

Jane announced that she is undergoing chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. After receiving the diagnosis, Jane assured her fans that she is “handling the treatment well” and vowed not to let the condition get in the way of her activism.

Making her announcement in September, the 84-year-old said her condition is “very treatable” and that she is “lucky” because she has access to the “best doctors and treatments”.

In her statement, the Grace and Frankie star concluded: “Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me.
