"George Clooney says he has dabbled with drugs and consumes too much alcohol. He said: &amp;quot;I drink at times too much. I do enjoy drinking, and there have been times in my life when it&amp;#039;s crossed the line from being fun to having to drink late at night for absolutely no reason. So what I do is, I stop.&amp;quot; The Oscar nominee also admits he has tried cocaine in the past but didn&amp;#039;t like it. He revealed: &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t have an issue with it. I&amp;#039;m not a big druggie, not at all. Blow is absolutely a nonstarter.&amp;quot; At the same time he says he has trouble getting to sleep because he is an over-thinker. The actor - who has dated a string of beautiful women including Lisa Snowdon, Elisabetta Canalis and Stacy Keibler - admits he hasn&amp;#039;t had a peaceful night&amp;#039;s sleep in a long time. He said: &amp;quot;Turning off the television causes me to think, and once I start that vision roaring, I have a very tough time getting to sleep. I&amp;#039;m able to numb out. Without question, I wake every night five times.&amp;quot;   Despite his popularity with women, Clooney admits that his famous lifestyle can be isolating. He continued: &amp;quot;Anyone would be lying if they said they didn&amp;#039;t get lonely at times. The loneliest you will get is in the most public of arenas: you will go to a place and end up in the smallest compartment possible, because it&amp;#039;s a distraction to everybody, and you end up not getting to enjoy it like everyone else.&amp;quot; He added in a frank interview with The Hollywood Reporter: &amp;quot;I have been infinitely more alone in a bad relationship; there&amp;#039;s nothing more isolating. I have been in places in my life where that has existed.&amp;quot; The screen star confessed he had been &amp;quot;left for someone; all those things. And it was sometimes a surprise, and sometimes you saw it coming. The most painful was when I kept trying to get (one woman) back. But we all make dumb mistakes.&amp;quot; The 50-year-old also spoke about how friend Brad Pitt &amp;#039;outed&amp;#039; him as gay as a joke. He reflected: &amp;quot;A couple of years ago, [he] really nailed me. He did one of those shows and they asked him when he was going to marry Angie [Angelina Jolie], and he said, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ll marry when George can legally marry [a man]&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; He went on: &amp;quot;He really got me badly, something I have had to deal with the past few years. But I could give a s***.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep: Oscars nominees bash pictures &amp;gt; George Clooney: &amp;#039;Descendants wardrobe nearly killed my masculinity&amp;#039;  Watch the Descendants trailer below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
