Los Angeles, Jan 21 (NationPress) Renowned singer-songwriter Charlie Puth has made the decision to give up alcohol following an intense hangover experience. The artist behind the hit song ‘See You Again’ recounted his journey to sobriety after a night of revelry in New York City.

This pivotal moment occurred just prior to the launch of his 2022 album ‘Charlie’, as reported by Female First UK.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Charlie shared, "I was in New York, staying at the Greenwich, and I typically don’t drink. I believe it clouds my judgment. But just before my third album was set to release, I thought, 'Why not have a wild night?' I woke up to the worst hangover I’ve ever experienced, lasting nearly two days. I saw photos of myself with strangers, and while they all wanted to grab coffee the next morning in a trendy area, I opted to retreat to my hotel and isolate myself for a couple of days."

He further reflected, "It's challenging to articulate, but after years of surrounding myself with negativity and making poor choices, it was eye-opening to have everything come to a halt at 30 years old in New York City."

According to Female First UK, Charlie is set to unveil his new album, ‘Whatever's Clever’, in March. He explained that the song ‘I Used to Be Cringe’ stems from his early days in the music industry, where he regrets his past “inauthenticity”.

The 34-year-old artist, whose wife Brooke Sansone is expecting their first child, reminisced, "Back in 2016, I would change how I spoke. I'd tell myself, 'You need to sound cool because you have a major hit.' It was all so inauthentic. I felt the pressure to act a certain way to fit in. It’s a part of growing up, learning who you are, and resisting external influences."
