Former Miss Universe Australia Olivia Molly Rogers says the morning after a big night out that left her anxious and arguing with her fiancé prompted her to quit alcohol.
From the time she started drinking in her teens, the 29-year-old model said she would often black out for half the night and wake up riddled with 'debilitating' anxiety and a sense of dread that sometimes lingered for three days.
The Adelaide speech pathologist, who was crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2017, said drinking also led to 'silly' fights with her husband-to-be, Justin Mckeone.
But it wasn't until the morning of Sunday, May 1, 2021, that Olivia woke up after a night on the town and made the decision to give up booze.
