Enquirer: Jon Hamm is a boozehound & he might need rehab

Enquirer: Jon Hamm is a boozehound & he might need rehab

63635pcn_hamm06

Back in January, The Enquirer ran a story about Jennifer Aniston’s alleged drinking problem. It was an interesting piece, especially considering that it came on the heels of a public outing where he seemed noticeably drunk to many people. So, The Enquirer is following in their grand tradition with this story, sort of. According to one eyewitness and some unnamed sources around Hollywood, Jon Hamm is quite the boozehound. Much like Aniston, The Hamm is past 40, and this kind of fall-down drunkenness can no longer be excused with “Oh, he’s so young, he doesn’t know his limits.” The Hamm is beyond the age where people shrug their shoulders - when a 40-plus man gets “Hammered,” it’s not really appropriate. If any of this is true, that is.

Friends of Jon Hamm fear that he is taking after his hard-drinking TV character Don Draper - and if he doesn’t back off the bottle, he could land in rehab. Hamm was spotted July 1 stumbling out of Little Dom’s restaurant in LA with his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt.

“In my opinion, he was absolutely blind drunk!” an eyewitness told The Enquirer. “I was walking in as he was leaving around midnight, and as I opened the door for him, he almost fell out of the bar. I asked him if he was alright as he tripped out of the door and mumbled something incoherently. Jennifer followed right behind him and rolled her eyes.”

Jon is one Hollywood’s leading men. But when the cameras stop rolling, he hit’s the party trail.

“On the set, Jon’s always as sober as a preacher,” a show insider told The Enquirer. “But when he’s not working, he likes to cut loose with a drink or two… or more! By the end of night, he often seems blotto. His nickname is “Hammered.”

Jon’s party-hearty behavior began surfacing two years ago when he got totally drunk at the Golden Globes parties, according to published reports.

“Jon’s a hell of a nice guy,” said the insider. “But his drinking has caused whispers. No one wants to see him end up in rehab.”

I tend to believe that this is at least partially true. The Hamm likes going to parties, and he seems to enjoy his cocktails too. My guess is that he’s probably able to hold his liquor and then some, and he’s probably what I think of as a Social Drinker (but my definition of “social drinker” is not the same as AA’s, just FYI). I believe he’s a nice guy, I believe he’s super-professional, and I believe that he probably has one too many drinks during his downtime, when he’s not working. I sincerely hope he’s not falling out of bars at his age, but maybe he is. If he is, then this is his one and only flaw: he’s a boozehound. A sexy, Hamm-Dongy boozehound who needs help taking off his pants. Mmm…NO. I would never take advantage of a liquor-soaked Hamm Dong. NEVER. Okay, I would, but only if he drunkenly came on to me. And by that, I mean that he whispers “You know I don’t wear underwear, right?”

  • When did we become to puritanical about booze in HWood? Until he pulls a Lilo and stops showing up for work and ‘borrowing’ things, I think we can move past this dumb little story.

  • I think like many childless people over a certain age he likes to party a bit-until he’s unprofessional enough to get drunk at a public function *cough*award show presentation*cough* or is papped drunk on a regular basis I’ll give him a pass.

  • So he had a bit too much to drink at a high profile event. People talk afterwards. It doesn’t mean he has a problem.

  • Errr… were the Enquirer concerned when a hung over Danny Devito went on The View? Were they concerned when Danny revealed that George Clooney was behind the alcohol-soaked night out?

    Jon’s an adult - he can get his drink on if he wants. As many have mentioned, if it impacts his work and his relationship, then that should be a concern.

  • this is frankly none of our business and is a matter that concerns no one else but he and his girlfriend(family) - we need to butt out. if he has a problem, it’s his problem. everyone has issues

  • I would be happy to check Jon into a very discreet, private rehab center called My Bedroom if he needs to dry out for a while.

    I agree with ELA, maybe this is my Scotch-Irish blood talking, but there is a difference between being a lush (someone who likes their drink but would never let it interfere with work) and a real alcoholic who lets their drinking get in the way of all their personal and professional relationships.

  • I am a childless adult woman who goes to work on time and does their job well and on my days off like to go out and enjoy a cocktail. What does that make me? Enquirer could have made this beilevable if they did not state the obvious and say they man is a pro on sets. Dumb Enquirer. Just heard on the local station that he is here in STL, if he is here for the U2 concert I will just have to keep him company. YUM.

  • If you ever get the chance to hang with the Mad Men crew…they like to PARTY. It’s why that cast is so popular at these after-parties for award shows. January probably toned it down due to her pregnancy, but Jon is most likely still tearing it up…

  • If it’s not true, he should SUE THE ENQUIRER. Having said that, aren’t these “he/she’s a drugger/alcie” stories kind of played out?

    I mean, today’s camera phones pretty much document in real time who’s hitting what too hard. Tabloid newspapers need to fold up shop and go away.
