Matthew Perry
In a 2002 interview with the New York Times, Perry shared: “When [fame] happens, it’s kind of like Disneyland for a while. For me it lasted about eight months, this feeling of ‘I’ve made it, I’m thrilled, there’s no problem in the world.’ And then you realize that it doesn’t accomplish anything, it’s certainly not filling any holes in your life. I didn’t get sober because I felt like it. I got sober because I was worried I was going to die the next day.” He has been sober since 2001.

Brad Pitt
In an interview with GQ, Brad Pitt shared that he stopped drinking after abusing alcohol for too long. He said: “I had to step away for a minute. And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good,” continuing by saying that he doesn’t “want to live that way anymore.” He said that his drink of choice is now cranberry juice and fizzy water.
