   Christina Aguilera’s drinking is getting out of control, says tab: this is why she’s bloated and always bruised

Buzz is starting to pick up that Christina Aguilera’s drinking problem is really getting out of control: the diva is reportedly using alcohol to forget about her problems – and it shows, says one tab, since she’s bloated and always bruised.

Since it’s the end of another working week, the tabloids and glossies have come out with their latest print issue. Star magazine, for one, sees in Aguilera’s recent weight gain a tell-tale sign of her drinking problem.

Reports about the singer abusing alcohol to go through the painful experience of her failed marriage and the ongoing divorce first started to make the rounds sometime around the Golden Globes 2011.

After the awards ceremony, she reportedly picked a fight with professional dancer and singer Julianne Hough, verbally abusing her and even making a move to attack her.

Now, Star is saying that this type of behavior is only getting worse. As of now, the only bit available from said Star article is a scan provided by Jezebel, in which it’s clearly stated that Aguilera’s drinking has become heavier in the past weeks.

“Bruised & Bloated!” begins the Star article. “‘Christina’s drinking has her piling on the pounds,’ says a source. ‘She’s ballooned from a size two to a size eight’,” the mag further writes.

Not only that but, says the same source, she’s also covered in bruises because she’s constantly losing balance from the heavy drinking. Even at the Globes, Aguilera had visible bruises on her arm.

“She stumbles and falls after too many cocktails, causing large bruises on her arms and legs. Her friends are worried she’s going to fall and really hurt herself one of these days,” the same insider dishes for Star.

As we also noted on a previous occasion, this is not the first time that word gets out that Aguilera may be drinking too much, perhaps because she doesn’t want to admit she’s “ok” with everything going on in her life.

Before the Globes, she reportedly passed out at Jeremy Renner’s birthday party. After the Globes, rumblings online have said she’s showing clear signs of heading down the “Britney Spears road.”

Of course, until the singer admits to having a problem – if she really does have one – all of this is just speculation.
