Hudson insists she's no boozer

Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson has hit back at reports she was spotted drinking heavily with singer pal Fantasia Barrino - because she's tee-total.

The New York Post claimed the two former American Idol stars were intoxicated as they left a club in Hudson's native Chicago, Illinois, but the Oscar winner insists that isn't possible.

In a recent blog, the Dreamgirls star revealed she's a committed non-drinker and only sips "water, juice and skim milk".

The Post is standing by its story.
