Twitter Reacts To CNN Banning Anchors From Drinking Alcoholic Beverages During Its New Year’s Eve Special

CNN has revealed that anchors will no longer be allowed to drink alcoholic beverages during its annual New Year’s Eve special.

If you were expecting to get lit on New Year’s Eve with the CNN anchors, you might want to rethink your plans. On Tuesday, the network’s CEO, Chris Licht, announced that anchors and correspondents will not be allowed to drink on or off camera this NYE.

Licht seemingly implied the decision to halt the drinking was due to last year’s coverage. If you recall, the special showed Anderson Cooper battling uncontrollable laughter and Don Lemon in a more “loosened” fashion. Licht claims the 2022 coverage damaged CNN’s credibility that resulted in the loss of “respectability” from viewers.

It’s unclear if Anderson’s usual co-host Andy Cohen will have to abide by the new rules. However, he did apologize for his behavior days after the 2022 coverage and admitted to being “a bit overserved.”

Twitter users caught wind of the rule change and quickly expressed their issues with the announcement. See below what users had to say.
