Seriously! Who cares! That's his business. If he wants to have a drink then have a drink. When he went to rehab he wasn't even with Jennifer garner back then!

I do hope Ben gets his act together! Jennifer deserves to be treated with love & care! He has a lot to be grateful for! I sure hope he realizes that! If not, he will lose his wife & daughters & will live to regret it for the rest of his life!

ben never said is was an alcoholic, ben never swore off alcohol. this story is utterly bs. ben has never stopped drinking. he went to rehab because he was on a bender and needed to get straightened out before it led to bottoming out.

There was a reason he went to REHAB 9 years ago, his life was spiraling downward. His life is 100% better now with a wonderful wife, two beautiful children and a good film career. Leave him alone- he's a grown man!

So he went into rehab nine years ago, got rid of JLo, married a great gal and has two beautiful children. His boozing and gambling addictions got him into some trouble. Hope he sobers up!
