Alec Baldwin hasnt done drugs since 1985 and he couldnt be happier about it.

The actor was having a casual chat about Frank Sinatra in an episode of the Our Way with Paul Anka and Skip Bronson podcast released Wednesday, when the conversation turned from the Rat Pack to Baldwins decadeslong sobriety after Anka asked if Baldwin was a drinker.

I dont discuss this a lot, I discuss it every now and then when it makes sense, he said. Im 39 years sober. I got sober Feb. 23, 1985. Because, as I tell people and youll appreciate this I was in Los Angeles in 83, and I had a two-year, daily white-hot problem.

Every day for two years, I think I snorted a line of cocaine from here to Saturn, he continued. We did one on the rings of Saturn, then we took it back home. I mean, cocaine was like coffee back then everybody was doing it all day long. I did a lot of coke.

The native New Yorker had yet to land major roles in Beetlejuice or Working Girl, which came to define his early silver screen career, when he decided to become drug-free. However, he revealed that he knew alcohol would become his newfound crutch after quitting drugs.

I stopped, he told Anka. And cause I stopped doing drugs, my drinking increased which they tell you thats going to happen and that did happen. I just started drinking. And the thing I miss is drinking. I dont miss drugs at all, but I do miss drinking. I like to drink.
