Brad Pitt describes his moderate drinking as a requirement to be 'professional about it'. This suggests an awareness of how alcohol consumption can affect one's image and performance, especially in public life. For many, being 'professional' with alcohol means avoiding intoxication, maintaining composure, and ensuring it doesn't interfere with work or responsibilities.
