She's always kept her body in shape, and now Kate Hudson is going the extra mile to get into even better shape – she quit drinking.

The blonde beauty –who will be on the December cover of Elle Magazine- opened up for the issue in an interview, telling, "I love my glass of wine. I love tequila. To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage! I'm not sure I've ever done that."

The reason behind her wanting to lose weight is all for an upcoming movie role, and according to the 30-year-old actress, she has already lost 1.5 lbs.

Ms Hudson also confirmed that she is not engaged or wed to boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees.

The full interview will be in Elle Magazine's December issue out on stands Wednesday November 4th.
