New York, November 13 (ANI): Elizabeth Hurley has revealed that she shifted from drinking wine to vodka in order to maintain her svelte figure.

The actress also mentioned that she stopped drinking coffee.

“I used to drink an awful lot of coffee, but I was told after the age of 40 you have to be careful with coffee and wine,” the New York Daily News quoted her as telling the Daily Mail.

She added: “Apparently, that can be one of the reasons older women get bloated around their stomach.

“No, I don’t miss having a glass of wine because I’ve switched to vodka.

“I don’t really like vodka that much but if I’m at a party, I have a small one with a lot of fizzy water and a huge squeeze of lime. Initially it’s like medicine but I’ve got used to it now.”

Also, it has been reported that Hurley eats just one meal a day and a lot of times skips dinner, since giving birth to her son Damian in 2002. (ANI)
