In 2005, The Independent reported that Nolte had struggled with substance abuse for “the majority of his adult life” and had begun abusing alcohol at an early age. After remaining sober for nearly 10 years, he resumed drinking in the late 1990s.
Following his 2002 arrest, he again stopped drinking. In 2018, he told The Saturday Evening Post that he did not have a drug problem and that he had been relatively clean outside of prescription stuff for years.
