Albert Verlinde has decided to no longer drink wine when he is on television. Before he drives back home, two glasses of wine were in his mouth and he doesn’t want that anymore. “About.”
While smoking has been banned on television for years, people still drink a lot. René van der Gijp always has a large glass of wine on the table at the table at Today Inside, but guests are also drinking in the other talk shows. Albert Verlinde is now completely done with that, says the show expert at the desk RTL Tonight.

Albert wants to cut down on alcohol. “It’s a bit like you keep an eye on it. All those weeks I was here, I always had a glass of wine on the table, right? This is not for today!”, he says during an item about alcohol consumption. “On New Year’s Eve I thought… I’m not really into New Year’s resolutions; I think you just have to change your life.”
He continues: “I like wine, so I also used to drink one or two and sometimes three glasses of wine every day. Then I thought: that’s over! When I’m home alone and during the week, I don’t drink wine anymore. So not here either! Because if you drink a glass of wine here and we stand together afterwards, then I’m already two glasses further.”
Does Frits drink?
Also at the desk is Frits Wester, who is known to have had an alcohol problem. “I really reset myself 6.5 years ago. I really took a different turn. I started exercising a lot again. The effect was so fast. You felt a lot better so quickly. I immediately slept much better, you are clearer and you immediately lose weight.”
Does he still drink alcohol these days? “I drink a glass of wine every now and then at the weekend and on an occasion or something, but that is no longer in proportion. That drinking is completely over.”
