Mel Gibson drinking again?

Has Mel Gibson fallen off the wagon?

The star — who publicly sought help for his alcoholism less than two months ago — was spotted drinking beer in Austin, Texas, according to the upcoming issue of the National Enquirer.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes. Mel Gibson was swigging a Bud with two adoring young women hanging on his every word,” the tab quotes a musician named Steven Smith as saying. Smith claims that the alleged incident occurred at Stubb's Bar-B-Q on Sept. 22 at around 1:15 a.m. According to Smith, about 75 people were at the bar, but Gibson and his group were in an area that was “cordoned off so no one could bother him.”

Another unnamed source backs up the claim, telling the Enquirer “He definitely was drinking Budweiser. I saw him.”

Gibson was arrested on a drunk-driving charge on July 28 and erupted in an anti-Semitic tirade. On Aug. 17, he pleaded no contest; he was sentenced to three years probation and went into an out-patient treatment for his alcoholism.

Gibson was in Austin for the screening of his new movie, “Apocalypto,” but his rep insists that he drank no alcohol during the trip.

“The story’s not true,” spokesman Alan Neirob told The Scoop. “He wasn’t drinking anything alcoholic.

Well, that clears up one blind item, eh? Can't wait until he gets really soused one night and goes off the rails again.

Yes, usually the first step in falling off the wagon....."Beer doesn't count." Enforced rehabs so rarely work....."I didn't know I had a drinking problem until I began to sound like Adolf Hitler.".....

He was just pulling the 'I made those heinous comments because I have a problem' shit, like that idiot Republican, when he never intended to stop drinking after rehab and probably doesn't consider himself an alcoholic at all.

um yeah not suprised.

- he's a celebrity; he has not accountability for his actions and he's an actor so he has no integrity; i wouldn't expect anything less from him.
