Holland, who said he has been sober for about a year and a half, said on the July 10 episode of"I didn't one day wake up and say, 'I'm giving up drinking,'" Holland said."I just, like many Brits, had had a very, very boozy December — Christmas time, I was on vacation. I was drinking a lot. And I've always been able to drink a lot. I think I get my genes from my mom's side in that I can drink. And I decided to just give up for January.
Tom Holland in Paris, France, in February 2022. The actor said he challenged himself to remain sober for six months.He explained he wanted to do Dry January, a challenge where people don't drink for the first month of the year, but his reaction to stopping drinking scared him. "All I could think about was having a drink," he said."I was waking up thinking about it. I was checking the clock, 'When's it 12?' And it just really scared me. I just thought, well, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing."
The"Spider-Man" actor said he then decided to"punish" himself and extend the challenge through February. "If I can do two months off, then I can prove to myself that I don't have a problem," he recalled telling himself."Two months go by, and I was still really struggling. I felt like I couldn't be social. I felt like I couldn't go to the pub and have a lime soda. I couldn't go out for dinner. I was really, really struggling. And I started to really worry that maybe I had an alcohol problem.
