Andy Cohen decided not to DRINK with Anderson Cooper on New Year’s Eve

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper have no booze plans.

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen have decided against drinking during their New Year's Eve coverage, according to Cohen.

Cohen told Page Six on Thursday that the pair will still "having a BLAST" even though they won't be drinking on TV. For their booze-filled broadcasts on the last night of the year, Cohen and Cooper are well-known.

Cohen told Rolling Stone in an interview published on Wednesday that despite Variety's November story that the network's anchors and journalists wouldn't be permitted to drink alcohol for their coverage of the holiday, the regulation didn't apply to him and Cooper.

"CNN said the correspondents will not be drinking," he said. "Anderson and I will be the people partying on CNN, we will be partying responsibly."

He added, "My job is to take Anderson out of his comfort zone, my job is to be a party ringleader for everyone watching us on New Year's Eve. And that is what I will continue to do. And as a matter of fact, if the correspondents are not drinking this year, I will be partying even harder on their behalf."
