Brad Pitt Drinks Moderately After Seven-Year Sobriety

Brad Pitt has revealed that after seven years of sobriety he began drinking again, but in a restrained way and with moderation. In a broad Esquire profile he said he 'got back off the wagon' and can have only a few drinks while staying professional. He has previously credited Bradley Cooper with helping him achieve sobriety and has discussed attending Alcoholics Anonymous. These disclosures come as media coverage continues to focus on his split from Angelina Jolie and its impact on their family. He also notes a renewed emphasis on managing his relationship with alcohol as he ages and on his upcoming film projects. Several outlets summarized the revelations in the context of his public history with addiction and recovery.
