Leona urges partygoers to shun alcohol

Leona has defended her decision not to drink.

London: Pop star Leona Lewis has defended her decision not to drink insisting revellers who need alcohol to have a good time have a "stupid mindset".

The "Bleeding love" singer is proud of her healthy lifestyle, refraining from eating meat or drinking booze and the teetotal star is baffled by partygoers who need a drink to boost their confidence - branding them "ridiculous", reports contactmusic.com. "I find some people`s attitude to drinking ridiculous. I think it`s so funny that people think you have to drink in order to have fun. It`s such a stupid mindset," she said. "A lot of my friends are like, `I need a drink to get on the dancefloor!` I don`t need that `help me to relax` thing. If I`m around my friends then I can really relax and have a good time, that`s all I need. I don`t need alcohol," she added. IANS
