"I drank alcohol during quarantine," Paltrow told The Mirror. "I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails. I mean, who drinks multiple drinks seven nights a week? Like, that’s not healthy."

-snip-

"I love whiskey and I make this fantastic drink called the Buster Paltrow, which I named after my grandfather who loved whiskey sours," Paltrow explained. "And it’s this great quinoa whiskey from this distillery in Tennessee with maple syrup and lemon juice. It’s just heaven. I would have two of those every night of quarantine."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, binge drinking is defined as, for women, consuming four or more alcoholic beverages on a single occasion (five for men), while heavy drinking is considered to be having eight or more drinks a week for women, or 15 or more for men.

Paltrow's not the only one who experienced an uptick in alcohol consumption amid the pandemic. A survey study published in September found that alcohol consumption increased by 14 percent in 2020 in comparison to 2019, with women reporting a 41 percent increase in the number of days they drank heavily.





She did come up with for a new product: "This Candle Smells Like My Barf!"

1. Pasta and bread! Heavens to Betsy! Where my fainting couch?

[Hugin]

14. I no longer feel an iota of guilt at not wearing antiperspirant for over a year...

After reading about the wayward depths to which Gwyneth sunk.

-harrumph-

[TxGuitar]

31. quarentine makes me wonder about general showering

and I wonder if it had a negative effect on the shaving industry and a positive effect on the breath mint industry!

[Srkdqltr]

2. Disgusting .

She is an extremely wealthy and accomplished adult. Can't find something better to do? Geezzz

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. That's a bit harsh (nt)

[Srkdqltr]

12. I don't think it's harsh. She is every wealthy . I can't imagine that was all she could find to do

[TxGuitar]

32. agree. wealthy people had no change in lifestyle.

if she wants to have a day where she does nothing all day, so be it, she can. If it lasts months, so what. Rich people like that had zero hardship during the lockdown.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

49. 'disgusting' is a little harsh ... alcoholism/addiction affects all income brackets

it is a disease that doesn't recognize socio-economic status in any way.

[Disaffected]

9. Accomplished??

At quackery?

[USALiberal]

57. And acting! Nt

[USALiberal]

41. Wow how kind of you. Nt

[hlthe2b]

3. If she had acting talent, it has been subsumed by her flakiness and narcissism.

[marble falls]

20. I enjoyed Shakespeare in Love, and I thought she was very good in it. Otherwise: m.e.h.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

43. I also quite liked that movie ... good couples movie ... whatever happene to joseph fiennes anyway?

I like her as RDJ's squeeze I mean assistant in the Marvel movies too.

[marble falls]

45. Fiennes last film was 2016, his last TV was 2019.

[xmas74]

71. He's on Handmaid's Tale.

He's a series regular.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Who does that? Ummmm ...

[marble falls]

21. Not us, the little people!

[C_U_L8R]

5. Quinoa whiskey. No no no no.

[Hugin]

16. Umm, how does one pronounce...

"Quinoa"?

[MontanaMama]

19. "Keen-wah".

[Hugin]

23. Thanks.

That question has been weighing on my mind.

[Leith]

22. No worries

KEEN - wa

It's that simple.

[Hugin]

24. With me...

Simple is good.

Thanks.

[Leith]

29. It's good with everybody

No need to complicate things beyond necessity.

[NQAS]

7. Pardon me. . .

but who cares?

[marble falls]

11. Cares? No one. But it is good for a laugh.

[USALiberal]

46. What's the point of your post??? Nt

[LanternWaste]

66. Everyone responding to the OP

Up to and including yourself.

(no pardons necessary...)

[maxsolomon]

8. Millions of Europeans drink every night.

In France and Italy and Spain, they'd laugh at that CDC "heavy drinking" definition. That's 1 glass of wine Sunday to Thursday, and 2 on Friday and Saturday. Whoop de do.

Gwyneth needs to stop beating herself up.

[Arazi]

35. Geez, exactly. Wine with lunch and dinner daily

Sometimes 2 glasses with dinner, and a cognac after dinner.



Europeans have a much different measure of "heavy drinking"

[uponit7771]

78. +1, this is so true and she's traveled before

[Botany]

10. And I thought she was just selling $15,000 dildos and steam cleaning her "lady bits."

?w=650

[FakeNoose]

15. This picture was taken before

... she gained 20 pounds and lost most of her hair.

[gldstwmn]

28. That thing looks like a boomerang.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

63. And Vjayjay scented candles

Yes they are one of the things she's selling.

[Botany]

77. I just woke up and thought you were kidding

[snowybirdie]

13. Quinoa

whiskey with maple syrup and lemon juice! How heavenly. Not your ordinary Jim Beam will do doncha know.

[Celerity]

36. it's just a a Maple Leaf cocktail, with Corsair Quinoa Whiskey subbed in

[rickyhall]

17. "Not really on the rails," some say.

[WHITT]

18. Might Explain A Lot Of What She Was Selling On Goop

[unblock]

25. I love that the article calls quinoa whiskey "extremely on brand" for her

[MontanaMama]

26. Guess I've been off the rails for years...

I have a glass of wine while cooking dinner and another with my meal...every darned night. I might have a Basil Hayden whiskey on the weekends. Woo-hoo!



I'm out of control...somebody stop me.

[Hugin]

30. On the 5th, I recklessly crashed through one of my alcoholism gateway indicators...

By drinking a margarita out of a mylar slurpy bag.

Totally off the rails.

I'll meet you in the gutter, MontanaMama.

[MontanaMama]

38. You're on.

I'm not above a margarita in a mylar slurpy bag. In fact, it sounds delicious.

[Hugin]

44. It was delicious.

[TexasTowelie]

53. I have a pina colada and a cherry limeade in those mylar slurpie bags..

The prudes can put them in a glass if they are that stuck up. The prudes probably want the umbrellas too.

[Hugin]

59. I did use a fancy drink straw...

Since none was supplied and held up my pinky in a most uppity fashion.

Quite frankly as I tore the top of the bag off, I was shocked at the oversight.

[Solly Mack]

27. Yikes! (that yikes is for the fucked up GOOP products that will come from this non-confession

confession)

Hydrating Gwyn-Wa balls made from quinoa infused-wax that smell like a whiskey douched vagina.

[CentralMass]

60. ...

[Solly Mack]

62. I'm a female who has read the GOOP product line and I am so not their target audience.

But it makes for a hilarious read.

[Initech]

33. I actually drank less, believe it or not!

I'm a social drinker. I stopped seeing the point of getting drunk at home by myself a long time ago. So for me not going to bars or parties or hanging with friends means I haven't drank as much as I normally would!


That said I do have a refrigerator full of beer and am looking for excuses to have people over!

[marble falls]

47. I still have some Christmas 2019 Port left and a bottle of red we drank about half of we used up ...

... and a six pack it took most of last year to drink. Since the election we've had a couple of bottle of Moscato, a bottle of a sparkling Shiraz (knocked my socks off it was soo good) and a bottle of Sofia sparkling rose'.

We're like you: drinking alone feels like call for help.

[Initech]

64. Yeah exactly.

If I'm out drinking that's one thing, but if I am home drinking that's something else. I do like drinking beer or wine at home but I usually lay off the hard stuff. I save that for social occasions. And also when I'm not driving!

[H2O Man]

34. Should we do a DU bake sale?

To raise funds for her?

[miyazaki]

37. Ya I used to come here for politics.

[LuvLoogie]

39. I think Gwyneth is sweet.

Y'all are haters.

[marble falls]

50. Ya'll got stars in yer ahhs. Gicha sometim ta wipe em gently with. Fixya all up.

[tinrobot]

40. I know it's easy to go off on her because of her wacky health stuff.

But that much drinking is not good for anyone. Too many people have harmed themselves and loved ones with alcohol.

Glad she's recognized the problem and is trying to stop.

[marble falls]

51. It's always good when folks get to know their limitations.

[panader0]

72. I know my limits.

I just get drunk before I get there.

[marble falls]

75. It's not a bad strategy, get them to cut you off with your first drink. Stay and eat and drink ...

... soda and water for three hrs or so and leave tired but soberish. People will remember you as the only person who became more mature and adult and interesting as the evening went on.

[Raine]

48. "totally off the rails" 😂 hard to tell the difference

her ” normal" state is pretty much off the rails!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

52. meh ... if she says she's putting away 1/2 a bottle before lunchtime then she can talk about

being 'off the rails'

[marble falls]

54. She thinks she's off the rails. Who are we to argue?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

55. okay well I'm not going to try to disabuse her of the notion or anything (nt)

[marble falls]

56. Let's face it. There's many more important notions in front of that to get to first.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

58. I dunno ... lunchtime comes pretty early in the day (nt)

[marble falls]

70. In this case, it's: "The sun is under the yard arm somewhere."

[Hugh_Lebowski]

74. Aye matey ...

By the bye, I might have to hoist a few scurvy dogs by me own yard arm 'ere long!

[marble falls]

76. argh. Have at them.

[no_hypocrisy]

61. Sounds more like a press release from the desk of Khloe Kardashian than Gwyneth Paltrow.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

65. Is she bragging? Complaining? Giving advice?

One or two drinks a day seems like a fine way to spend the pandemic!

[Mr.Bill]

67. If two drinks a night is off the rails

then I've been a long way off the rails for 50 years.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

73. A man after me own heart! (nt)

[Skittles]

68. she really seems entitled and clueless

yes indeed

[LiberalFighter]

69. I wonder if Colbert will talk about her tonite.
