> “I’m more conscious of my intake — and there’s more people of my generation who are choosing not to drink any more because of how it makes them feel,” the Little Women actress said.

> Speaking to The Times, the star said that alcoholism is “a world I know really well and I’ve been on the receiving end of the pain caused by it.”

> Ronan added that she’s seen “people I love change because of addiction.”

> **”There’s a helplessness you feel when you watch someone you love — friends my age and one in particular who I’m close to — go through that,”** she continued. **“What will be etched in my brain for ever is that switch, when the glaze goes over someone’s eyes and they are gone.”**
