Brad Pitt says he is drinking again after seven years of sobriety, characterizing it as a more controlled, restrained change rather than a return to heavy drinking. Multiple outlets report that Pitt describes this shift as moving away from total abstinence.
The accounts add context about Pitt’s personal history, including his willingness to discuss prior struggles with alcohol and his broader life circumstances. The Los Angeles Times notes the comments come as part of a wider conversation that also touches on his divorce from Angelina Jolie. Across the coverage, there is a consistent emphasis that Pitt is not drinking in large quantities.
While the outlets differ slightly in phrasing—one stresses “restrained” drinking, another specifies “not in big quantities”—they align on the core point: Pitt has resumed alcohol use after a seven-year sober period, and he frames the change as moderation.
