Ben Affleck’s struggles with sobriety have been well-documented, with the actor first seeking help for alcoholism in 1997. He decided to give up alcohol, as he revealed toFox Newsat the time:
I just wanted to stop. I started regretting some things I did when I was drunk. It’s funny to be obnoxious or out of control, but then it’s like, ‘I think I hurt that person’s feelings, ‘I made a fool of myself’ or ‘I didn’t want to kiss that girl.’ I have almost no inhibitions, so it’s dangerous for me.

Affleck discussed his family’s history of“alcoholism and mental illness” in a 2021 interview with theNew York Times, saying:
The legacy of that is quite powerful and somethings hard to shake.
