Brad Pitt Reveals He’s Drinking Again: Can Recovering Alcoholics Ever Safely Drink?

In an interview with Esquire magazine, Brad Pitt admitted that he is off the wagon after 7 years sober.  The actor saying he can have a few drinks, and after a few “overconfident” incidents, has decided to continue drinking, but “not in big quantities.” Pitt’s admission has rekindled an ongoing debate among recovering alcoholics, with Alcoholics Anonymous maintaining that “no one who has become an alcoholic has ever ceased to be an alcoholic” while other organizations support a moderation management technique, similar to what Pitt describes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
