Martha Stewart swears she isn’t a big drinker — despite recently admitting that a nonsensical Instagram comment was the result of too many cocktails.

Chatting about her wine company with Elle Décor, the lifestyle maven said she does look forward to the clock turning 5 every day while stuck in quarantine.

“I couldn’t say [wine] is a necessity but boy does it help,” she said told Whitney Robinson, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, on Instagram Live. “At the end of the day, a relaxing little cocktail.”

The 78-year-old also responded to our coverage of her recently leaving a gibberish comment on a chicken farm account that read, “M as me sure you feed and wAter them daily And keep the heat lss as no MK in s as Nd when you can finally come back to nyc who is going to take care for them??” Stewart later followed up with a laughing crying emoji face alongside, “What a mess I have been drinking.”

“Despite what you’ll read on Page Six and BuzzFeed, I’m not a big drinker,” she laughingly said. “I rarely get tipsy but I can nurse a bot … I can nurse a glass of wine very nicely by adding ice cubes.”

Stewart said that a cocktail or glass of wine does “soothe you. It makes us feel festive when it’s hard to feel festive and a little bit celebratory when it’s hard to feel celebratory.”

The cookbook author, who is holed up at her Bedford farm, has been busy rustling up meals, tending to her gardens and animals and rotating her dinner sets so that they all get used. And like the rest of us she’s been bingeing on Netflix where she enjoyed “The English Game” and the movie “The Gentlemen” starring Matthew McConaughey.
