Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie – Oh The Drinking!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are just like any other couple, once you look past their fame and fortune. They face the same pressures as anyone when it comes to making their relationship work. Just like any other couple, if one partner starts drinking heavily, it takes its toll on the other. According to a new story from In Touch, Brad Pitt has been drinking a lot which is beginning to put a major strain on his relationship with Jolie.
Reports of a tipsy Brad Pitt are becoming more rampant these days, along with photographic proof of his inebriation. The latest incident is described by In Touch in their article “Why Brad’s Drinking So Much.” Pitt was recently in New York to promote The Time Traveler’s Wife, when onlookers spotted the 46-year old looking “in the sauce.”
“Brad was looking to have some fun and blow off steam,” said one of his pals.
Apparently he did just that.
“He slurred his words and was wobbly,” said a witness of the August 12 incident. “It was obvious he had been drinking.”
Later that same evening Brad was “the life of the party” at Rouge Tomate restaurant in Manhattan.
“It’s very shocking to see an A-lister that drunk.”
Other recent incidents include the Berlin after party for the premiere of Inglorious Basterds in Berlin. He got so drunk that night, he had to be escorted home.
“Brad’s drinking is becoming a worry,” said a close friend. “Everyone is talking about it.”
The friend says Pitt acts differently when he’s around Angelina Jolie and their kids.
“There are two Brads,” the friend said. “There is the Brad who is the responsible father of six kids, and there is the other Brad, who’s a frat boy looking to have some fun.”
Pitt used to be a frat boy at the University of Missouri, so his recent behavior is not completely surprising. According to insiders his frat boy side has been coming out a lot more since Jolie gave birth to twins Vivienne and Knox. Since Brad is focusing so much attention on partying, it seems obvious that he might not be spending as much attention as he used to on Angelina and the kids. One insider thinks the fast growth in the family has put more stress on Brad which has led to him partying more than usual.
“At first he was so excited to become a father – but suddenly they had four. Brad was finding it really tough going, and then Angelina announced she was expecting twins.”
It was not only the stress of kids causing worries for the couple, but there are also a few other fundamental problems that have yet to be ironed out.
“Brad and Angelina are so different,” said the insider. “They fight over everything from current events to something silly, like Brad looking at a waitress the wrong way.”
Brad can unwind from the stress by hitting the bottle. Or even a dozen of them. The insider said Brad often downs 12 beers in a night.
“The drinking is a sign he’s under tremendous stress in his relationship,” said Dr. Judy Kuriansky. “There’s been tension between them, but there’s also a lot of pressure of not wanting to hurt the children. He’s drinking as an escape.”
One thing is certain, heavy drinking won’t help mend his relationship with Jolie. Angelina is known as a “light social drinker” and is more into her family than tying one on.
“The Brad that Angelina fell in love with isn’t the Brad he is now,” said the friend.
If Brad Pitt continues to play the role of the ageing party boy, it seems very likely that Angelia Jolie will have enough of it and dump him. Maybe that’s what Pitt is secretly looking for. If his drinking is a form of escapism, it means he’s not that happy in his domesticated life. It certainly looks like plans to expand the family have been put on hiatus.
For those of us who expect Angie and Brad to implode, the public bouts of drinking would seemingly indicate the end is near.
Do you think Pitt and Jolie will break up over Brad’s heavy partying?
I think they will.
Pitt doesn’t want all those kids any more. He was in heat for Jolie when they met but now after having so many children he has lost interest. Drinking is his real love now.
NO, I do not think that they will split. Brad will end up getting help for his drinking. He admitted that he stopped smoking “pot” so I think the drinking is a replacement . His love for his children will keep them together. Angelina has no interest in raising these children on her own.
I think Brad Pitt was ready to have children and take his family seriously, but he likes it to be coming from him, as he wants to be solely in charge of his decision.
He is such a gutsy man. I think he will be more relaxed if he will be given the chance to be the captain of their relationship as he is the man, but of course with due respect for Angelina’s decision as well. A compromise between them must be reached and rules should not be broken.
This could be effective but to be honest it’s best to have a loving and friendly relationship, it’s a relationship, when one can pour his or her feelings to her partner when things are low, a relationship with equal respect.
I guess what they really fail to have in their relationship, that’s why Brad is drinking is “Active Listening”.
Both of them are finding answers, feeling unsatisfied and unhappy.
The pressure with their career is high,it’s simple if they are not happy, the reason must be identified and must be dealt with. They are two grown ups who have agreed to raise children and I think it’s not on when the kids would be left with an incomplete family because someone felt that the pressure was too high.
They need to sort out on how to be honest with each other and understand each other more and they should act their age.
Dont they understand what they just did? Bringing 3 children of their own in this world and adopting 3 other children, to do what? This????? Do they really think that being immature is the best solution to their problem.
They are not happy with each other, they should not stay together because that is just a waste of their precious time, they could have spent it with somebody with whom each one of them could really connect or is compatible with.
In having a relationship, it’s not all about what the other person could give or maybe the physical attraction or pressure of peers or career. Choose one who is considered as your suitable partner. Meaning the other half of yourself. Everyday is not a sunny day, there are days when it’s gloomy , but it doesn’t mean that you have to give up or quit on your partner, when your partner’s behaviour changed, it doesnt mean that love is gone. It’s just not a perfect day. This the day when he/she needs you the most, give your love and understanding and just let everything calm down. Then the next day give your warm embrace and kiss him and give the reassurance that whatever is bothering him, you are there and everything will be alright.
When one is losing his direction, the partner should be there for support and reassurance, this is the time when you can prove to the world that you really love him. Whatever happens, if you love your man, Good times or bad , you have to stand by your man.- Ramaze

THE WILL SEPERATE BUT SOLEY BECAUSE OF HIS DRINKING. I CAN’T SPEEK FOR HIM THOUGH IS SEEMS ANGELINA IS FEELING OLDER WHILE BRINGING HER INSECURITIES WITH HER YEARS. EVEN A WAITRESS ISN’T GOING TO SEPERATE THEM EITHER. THEY’VE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE WHILE ADDING NEW ONES, IT’S INEVITABLE!
Who cares? God knows how many people face much more trouble everyday. But of course, since this couple is famous, we all should be worried and concerned!
I think these two are arrogant and narcissistic, and they seem like horrible parents. It seems clear that the nannies are doing to all of the work when the photographers aren’t there.
Their children all look miserable, which is usually a sign that something is very wrong.
I do not think they will split because Brad knows that if he leaves, he will lose access to those children.
However, I think his drinking is a way to force Angie to leave him.
IT IS CALLED MID-LIFE CRISIS. IF ANGIE LOVES BRAD SHE WILL STAY WITH HIM THROUGH THICK AND THIN. HE ON THE OTHER HAND SHOULD GET OVER THIS CHAPTER OF HIS LIFE AS QUICKLY AS HE COULD. HE WILL NEVER BE THE YOUNG CAREFREE BRAD OF BEFORE BUT I THINK HE IS A MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE DISTINGUISHED BRAD THAT SHE CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH ALL OVER AGAIN. IN A FEW YEARS, ANGIE WILL BE IN HER FORTIES AND SHE WILL GO THROUGH THE SAME THING. HOPEFULLY, BRAD WILL BE THERE FOR HER.
i feel sorry for them both. They took the risk to be together , they should keep it together. angelina cannot keep getting punished for the things of the past. i think pple should give her some slack. she has been really graceful and brad has just been all over the place exposing there is a problem in the relationship. its reallly sad. they r a good couple and they should try harder
