   Jennifer Aniston’s drinking is getting out of hand, she may need rehab, says tabloid report

Actress Jennifer Aniston has always been very open about her love of a glass of good wine, but the latest print issue of the National Enquirer (story via here) claims she’s turned that into a real drinking problem – and she should get help fast.

Apparently, the former “Friends” star is seeing her entire life go down the drain and she doesn’t know how to handle all that than by hitting the bottle, which she’s turned into a habit.

A string of box office flops and critically panned movies, the heartbreak that she never got over after Brad, and not being able to keep a man in her life have all taken their toll on Jen.

A while back, she used to “mellow down” with marijuana, but, in recent months, she’s turned to drinking, so-called “friends” of the actress say for the Enquirer.

“I think Jen may be drowning her sorrows over her dead-end love life and her slumping career. Some friends are beginning to wonder is she needs help,” an unnamed source dishes for the tab.

“Jen’s always been a partier, but now at times her drinking seems out of control,” adds the same spy.

Until not long ago, Aniston used to be a social drinker, but now she’s often drinking alone in her home. Her friendship with Chelsea Handler hasn’t helped matters in any way in this respect, another source adds.

As for what happens whenever she has one drink too many, the source says the scenario rarely changes.

She starts slurring, then she gets emotional and starts reminiscing about losing Brad. And finally she ends up trashing Angelina.” [At a party on December 4,] she had a drink in her hand all night and definitely was feeling no pain,” another insider reveals.

Aniston’s behavior is getting her friends terribly concerned and they want her to seek help if she needs it. This in itself could be a problem, since Aniston hasn’t even acknowledged her issues yet, the Enquirer further claims.
