Lola Weippert Challenges Drinking Norms in Instagram Post

Her message underscores growing support for treating sobriety as a routine choice.

Overview

  • Weippert posted on Instagram on Monday, questioning why people feel pushed to explain themselves when they decline alcohol.
  • She cited familiar pushback people hear, including “just one glass,” “don’t be boring,” and “are you pregnant?”
  • She argued that drinking is treated as the default in social settings and said people get odd looks for simply ordering water.
  • She wrote that no one should have to justify what they put in their body and that a plain “No thanks” should suffice.
  • Promiflash reported many followers echoed her experiences in comments, while dpa situated her remarks alongside her TV work and new “Schön Laut” podcast with Vanessa Mai.
