Jennifer Aydin is no longer letting drinking get the best of her while filming the Real Housewives of New Jersey.
The NJ Housewife reveals that she didn’t drink at all while filming season 12, noting that she doesn’t know her limits.
“If you know me in real life, you would know that I really am not a big drinker. It’s just that when I do drink, I don’t know my limits, obviously,” she told PEOPLE during a recent interview. “And sometimes, it catches stuff with me before I notice.”
“That’s just because I don’t drink excessively enough to know where my limit is. I don’t know how many licks it takes to get to the center of this girl, we got to find out,” she adds.
She came to the decision following her drunken behavior at Teresa Giudice’s pool party last year. If you remember, Jennifer had too much to drink at the party; she began slurring her words and collapsed as a result of being overserved. Jennifer’s husband Bill Aydin took her home to sleep off the embarrassing incident.
“When I got drunk at Teresa’s party, I had never been drunk like that in my life,” Jennifer said. “I mean, I think I had alcohol poisoning. I was shaking till two o’clock in the morning, in the fetal position, begging Bill to make it stop, and he is like, ‘Nope, you just got to go through it.’ I’m like, ‘This is terrible. Why do people drink?’ “
She continued, “Listen, I love fun, drunk Jennifer. I love her. I just don’t like curling over and feeling like I’m going to vomit all over your Ferrari Jennifer.”
As for season 12, Jennifer admits she learned a lot of “life lessons” about her relationships with her RHONJ c0stars.
“You’re going to see a lot of ups and downs,” she noted. “And I feel like aside from the drama, which I know everybody loves, there’s a lot of fun moments, and a lot of loving moments and a lot of laugh-out-loud moments that we’re going to see. That’s what I’m most excited to see, the fun part of it all.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
