Brad Pitt drinking again after 7 years sober: Source says he ‘knows his limits’
A source close to the Oscar winner says Pitt had years to reassess his relationship with alcohol and now believes moderation works for him, days after the actor revealed the decision alongside a candid account of a painful family crisis
A source close to Brad Pitt has revealed that the Oscar-winning actor has resumed drinking alcohol after seven years of sobriety. The source told Page Six that Pitt believes he can now drink in moderation while being mindful of his limits. "This is a very personal decision that's unique to Brad and his own circumstances," the source said.
Pitt, 62, revealed in an interview with Esquire UK that he began drinking again. He explained that he now drinks in a "more restrained manner" and that he occasionally becomes overconfident about what he can handle, only to realize that heavier drinking is not good for him. The source added that the change in Pitt's relationship with alcohol does not negate the years he spent sober or what he learned during that time.
"It doesn't take away from the years he spent sober or what he learned during that time," the source said. Pitt has had "a lot of time to reflect" on his relationship with alcohol, the source said. "Over time, his life changed and he reached a point where he felt comfortable making a different choice," the source added. "For him, that means moderation and being very conscious of his limits."
Pitt stressed that he does not drink "in big quantities" and that he has to be professional about it.
