Valerie Bertinelli just shared that weight loss has been an unexpected side effect from giving up drinking last month.

On her TikTok account, Bertinelli posted a video walking and talking to the camera when she revealed her Dry January experiment, a popular movement where people give up drinking for the first month of the new year, had an unintended "side effect."

"So, here's a nice little side effect of Dry January," she said. "These jeans that I'm wearing were so tight a few months ago that I couldn't comfortably button them. Now, they're so loose it's time for me to go down a size."

She continued, "Yeah, I like that side effect."

She only did the dry January, but who knows……..she and more people might just quit altogether.
