Blake Lively Sparks Debate For Launching Alcohol Brand As A Non-Drinker

Blake Lively is sparking debate over her new business venture. The A-lister’s Betty Booze line of sparkling cocktails launched this week, prompting fans to wonder why Blake would want to head an alcohol brand despite being a non-drinker herself. “Drinking isn’t my thing. But for f* sake, flavor is. Homemade recipes. Real fruit. Real ingredients. Quality booze. No crap. Also a real time saver. Which is why I really did it,” the “Gossip Girl” alum wrote on Instagram. Though some commenters questioned Blake’s entrepreneurial choices and even accused her of making a cash grab by creating a product she won’t use herself, others were quick to point out that the mom of four is simply showing off her savvy. Gigi Hadid was among the famous friends who applauded Blake’s biz, and the supermodel even volunteered to be a taste tester. “Drinking ain’t your thing but when u make a drink for someone else, best bet they’re having a good time (me, I’m someone else),” Gigi replied.
