She's known for sipping her share of Cosmos on Sex and the City, but in real life Kristin Davis steers clear of cocktails. "I’m a recovering alcoholic," the actress, 43, tells Health. "I’ve never hid it, but I’ve been sober the whole time I’ve been famous, so it wasn’t like I had to go to rehab publicly."She says "it’s caused a lot of confusion out in the world. I get sent many a Cosmo! I never drink them. I believe [alcoholism] is a disease. I don’t think you can mess with it." She says people used to say to her "'Couldn’t you just have one glass of champagne? "And I would say, 'No,'" Kristin recalls. "I’m doing well. I still have occasional bad days. Why risk it?"
Unlike her family-oriented character, Charlotte York, Kristin says her No. 1 goal in life isn't to wed and have kids. Still she says, "I can relate to feeling the pressure society puts on a person. My family has never been focused on that for me. I’d love to have children, though. I’d also love to adopt a child — I think about it a lot."
Kristin — who works with Oxfam International to fight poverty — even cites Angelina Jolie as an inspiration. "I’ve met Angelina. I don’t know her well, but what she’s done is fantastic," she says. She adds, "I admire anyone who adopts children."
