Anne Hathaway stated earlier this year that she was going to avoid alcohol until her son, Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman, turns 18-year-old. The little boy - whom she shares with husband Adam Shulman - is only three years old.

But the Oscar-winning actress has now insisted it is not a 'moralistic stance' and is not because she has a problem with drinking. But her choice has been made because cocktails give her bad hangovers. 

The brunette star - who can next be seen with Rebel Wilson in The Hustle - added that sometimes her hangovers would last five days. 

She explained to Boston Common magazine: 'I didn't put [a drink] down because my drinking was a problem; I put it down because the way I drink leads me to have hangovers and those were the problem. 

'My last hangover lasted for five days.'

The Les Miserables star added, 'When I'm at a stage in my life where there is enough space for me to have a hangover, I'll start drinking again, but that won't be until my kid is out of the house.
