Brad Pitt Reveals He Resumed Drinking After Seven-Year Sobriety

Brad Pitt Reveals He Resumed Drinking After Seven-Year Sobriety

Brad Pitt is a very famous movie actor.

For seven years, he did not drink alcohol at all, which people call being sober.

Now he has told a magazine called Esquire that he has started drinking again, but only a little bit.

He says he learned that he can have a few drinks, but not a lot, because too much is not good for him.

He first stopped drinking in 2016, and he got help from a group called Alcoholics Anonymous and from his friend Bradley Cooper.

In the same interview, Brad Pitt talked about a very sad time in his life when he felt a lot of pain.

He said that for one short period he had thoughts about suicide, but he never acted on them.

He also said he wishes he could have his fifties back and do more with that time.

Brad said that even though life is not easy, he knows he has been very lucky.
