All partied out this January? You're not alone. And there's no better month to become an absentee of alcohol. Take a look at these stars embracing sobriety and be inspired - never has being dry been more fashionable.

GLAMOUR.COM favourite Fearne gave up alcohol completely four years ago. "I wasn't a big drinker before so I found it quite easy to give up completely - and now I feel bloody brilliant,” she revealed.

PA PhotosBlake Lively
Gorgeous Gossip Girl Blake Lively must be a PR’s dream client! The 23-year-old starlet is as clean-living as they come and steers clear of the Manhattan party circuit - unlike her male co-stars or her GG alter-ego Serena. "I don't drink. I don't do drugs…I grew up with the mindset that after work you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don't want to go to a club and not wear panties."

A health-conscious starlet, J-Lo doesn't drink or smoke. "I think that ruins your skin. Of course, during celebratory toasts, everybody's like, 'You can't toast with water!' So I'll toast with alcohol and just take a sip."

Rex FeaturesChristina Ricci
Cute and quirky actress Christina Ricci hasn’t touched alcohol for around ten years. “You know, I went through a normal kind of late teens, early 20s drinking, but it was a choice I made, because I didn’t think it was very good for my life…I don’t go out very often. [When I do] I drink Diet Coke and dance.” The starlet also has an interesting theory on men’s opinions of teetotal women: “All men think that women who don’t drink are obsessed with sex. It’s a male fantasy. If you don’t drink, then you must be a sex addict. Like I haven’t heard that one before.” Um, we haven’t...

England ambassador and all-round role-model Becks abstained from alcohol years ago, like many athletes (but unlike many footballers).

Rex FeaturesGerard Butler
It’s been so long since hot Scot Gerard Butler enjoyed a bevvy, the actor now claims he can’t even remember what it’s like to be drunk. “I can’t remember drinking. When I stopped, I would look at a beer and think how great it would be. I’d get this pang in my stomach to go back out and have fun, but then I’d remember that I used up that right - that I did a full life’s worth of drinking between 14 and 27.”

PADaisy Lowe
21-year-old model Daisy Lowe joined teetotal mother Pearl as a ‘soberista’ recently and has boasted how her new clean living lifestyle has transformed her for the better. We can’t imagine many ‘It’ girls who spent their 21st sober…

Will Smith’s wife, the gorgeous Jada Pinkett Smith, hasn’t touched alcohol for eight years after fearing her drinking habits would get out of control. "I found myself drinking two bottles of wine on the couch and I said, 'Jada, I think we've got a problem here.'" she revealed. “From that day on I went cold turkey; I haven't had a drink in eight years."

PA PhotosKristin Davis
The Sex And The City starlet went teetotal at 22 and hasn’t looked back since. “I drank a lot when I was a teenager and I don't drink any more, because that's when I thought, you know, I'm gonna end up a car wreck…I got into the acting programme, it was very challenging, I was hungover and I wasn't doing so well in my classes. I thought, ‘Do you know what? It's going to be one or the other. I can't really have both.’”

Little Britain's David Walliams, a noted man about town, is never seen with anything other than mineral water in hand.

PA PhotosZoe Ball
Former ‘Ladette’ Zoe Ball gave up alcohol three and a half years ago to increase her chances of conceiving a sibling for 11-year-old son, Woody. The starlet is now mum to two-year-old Nellie, and both she and DJ hubby Norman Cook have remained on the wagon. “I must confess I still miss the odd margarita and Bloody Mary,” said the former party girl.

Overnight pop sensation Leona Lewis revealed: “I don’t drink - I hate the taste of alcohol. When my debut single [Bleeding Love] went to No.1, I celebrated with non-alcoholic champagne.”

PA PhotosKonnie Huq
Fitness fanatic Konnie Huq claims that her teetotal lifestyle gives her the Xtra Factor. The starlet’s enviably healthy glow is down to a combination of cycling, healthy eating and just saying no. “I was brought up not drinking, so the taste never appealed to me and I never had the mentality that I need a drink to relax.”

PA PhotosEllie Goulding
Brit popstral Ellie Goulding is back on track after her vocal expert slapped a booze-ban on the starlet last year. “I have noticed already just having a good diet and not smoking or drinking has made my vocal cords so much stronger.”

PA PhotosPeaches Geldof
Former wild child Peaches Geldof quit drinking after the break-up of her incredibly short-lived marriage in 2008. “It’s the test, isn’t it? Can you get along with someone if you’re sober? It sorts the wheat from the chaff with friendships and relationships.” Is she suggesting she was tipsy during her whirlwind Las Vegas wedding? Surely not.

Rex FeaturesSadie Frost
Former London hell-raiser and co-founder of the notorious Primrose Hill set Sadie Frost hopped on the wagon years ago, yet is adamant she’s still as much fun to hang out with as her drunken self: "I can have lots of fun without drinking."

Rex FeaturesJemima French
In fact, it was Sadie Frost’s clean living lifestyle that inspired her design partner Jemima French to join her in sobriety in 2010. "I don't drink anymore. I don't want to get old, and drinking really makes you old. I just got fed up of feeling slightly groggy in the morning when I went out and had too many drinks. Now, I can go out until two or three in the morning and leap out of bed the next day and feel great."

PA PhotosKelly Osbourne
Rock royalty Kelly Osbourne famously cleaned up her act in 2010 for the sake of her relationship with then-fiancé Luke Worrall. Their romance may be over, but Kelly has remained clean. "I don't drink at all. Even a glass of wine at dinner would probably mean me going home, getting s**t-faced (drunk) and then being on drugs and doing something stupid that I have to spend the next three months apologizing for…I don't like drinking that much as I hate throwing up and the taste of alcohol.”

PA PhotosKaty Perry
California Gurl Katy Perry gave up alcohol for good in 2010 to concentrate on her career and not because her drinking was getting out of hand. "You have to bust your a** at this which is why you don't find me getting s**tfaced in bars... It's so intense, it's like you catch a rocket and you're hanging on for dear life and you're like, 'Go!’"

PA PhotosNaomi Campbell
The Supermodel turned her back on the excesses of her youth five years ago after realising most of her scandals involved the sauce. "I choose not to drink today in my life because I find that I'm allergic to alcohol. I'm not someone that's in denial of my problems and I'm not going to lie about my problems and I'm not hiding my problems. I have more energy and I have more fun than when I was drinking and I can hang out really late and get up early in the morning with no hangovers and still smile.”

Rex FeaturesKim Cattrall
Despite being signed up as the face of Bacardi’s Island Breeze cocktails in 2005, Sex And The City starlet Kim Cattrall admitted she doesn’t drink alcohol - claiming fashion is her only vice: "I'm not a big drinker and when I do, I get a headache. I don't drink or take drugs so clothes are my only mood enhancer."

PA PhotosTobey Maguire
In 2010, former Spider-Man Tobey Maguire confirmed that he hadn’t had a drop of the hard stuff for 15 years after admitting he struggled with booze as a teen. The 34-year-old said “It doesn't seem like I'm made to have a little bit [of alcohol] - it seems to be I'm made to have more than a little bit! I had a lot of fun, but what it did cumulatively to my life was not worth it."

PA PhotosCalvin Harris
DJ supremo Calvin Harris quit drinking in 2008 to stop hangovers getting in the way of his chart-toping career. “My live shows are a million times better now. If you drink, you can't even remember if it's a good show or not - and that's probably for the best, because it would have been rubbish because I'd have been drunk and not making any sense.”

Rex FeaturesTom Cruise
Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise is adamant that he steers clear of all sinful vices, such as alcohol, tobacco and drugs. We’d love to hear his explanation for the now-infamous Oprah sofa-bouncing episode then…

PA PhotosTyra Banks
Model-turned-TV presenter Tyra Banks hates the taste of alcohol and has never been drunk, but admits she orders wine in public because she thinks it makes her look sexy! “Every now and then I'll order some wine at the table. I'll only take two sips, but I'll keep holding the glass cause it makes me feel sexy, but I still don't drink it because it still tastes kind of nasty to me."
