Brad Pitt has started drinking again, the bottle doesn’t care that he’s Brad Pitt

Don’t fool yourself about moderate drinking Brad Pitt has started drinking again and this really is cause for celebration among millions of ordinary people around the world, because after all, what brings us closer to the great and famous, but our vices? I have often heard people who enjoy a glass of cognac in the morning point out that Winston Churchill used to do much the same, but when asked in what other respects they resemble the First Lord of the Admiralty, twice British prime minister, and Nobel Prize winner, they usually have less to say.

And now, if Brad Pitt has started drinking again, perhaps he has become a little closer to us ordinary people, or perhaps we have become closer to him.

But if Pitt has started drinking again, there must have been a reason he stopped, given in 2019, Pitt spoke openly about giving up alcohol.

“I’d taken it as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges,” he said, and by then, he had been sober for about three years.

Just look at the problems stars have – even the family rows take place aboard private jets.

According to Jolie’s account, Pitt spilled beer on her, grabbed and shook her, and behaved aggressively towards their children.

The FBI investigated the incident, although Pitt was not charged and Jolie filed for divorce shortly afterwards, while Pitt stopped drinking.

Of course, it wasn’t as though he had accidentally got drunk for the first time in his life that day, and the point isn’t how much someone consumes on one particular occasion, it’s the cumulative effect.

Alcohol can erode a person’s character slowly and gradually, so gradually that the person himself may barely notice, with good physical health, professional success, wealth, and modern medicine allowing someone with a serious drinking problem to remain highly functional for an extraordinarily long time.

Brad Pitt was never found unconscious under a fence and that particular image is worth mentioning because, in our society, lying under a fence is traditionally regarded as the definitive proof that someone has finally become an alcoholic.

But alcoholism rarely looks like that, and many people with serious alcohol problems remain successful, go to work, raise families, and are seldom seen visibly drunk.

However, money and status don’t change what ethanol does to the human body.
