Susanna Reid says she breaks her teetotal rule once a year, and that she was enjoying tequila cocktails while in Ibiza when she posted swimsuit photos. She describes this as a planned exception to her usual abstinence.

The outlets report that the moment she shared online coincides with a trip in which her sons were present, framing it as part of a holiday outing rather than an everyday change in routine. Both sources attribute the explanation to Reid herself, presenting her “one day a year” approach as the reason she drank on the trip. Beyond that personal detail, the reports do not add further information about the specific social occasion, the timing of the posts, or any additional reactions.
