Affleck’s also been open in the past about his struggles with alcohol addiction, and in a recent interview with Howard Stern (via People) the actor revealed that he struggled with drinking partially because of his marriage to Garner.

Affleck told Stern he’d “probably still be drinking” if he was married to Garner. “It’s part of why I started drinking…because I was trapped.”

“I was like ‘I can’t leave ’cause of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?,'” he continued. “What I did was drink a bottle of scotch and fall asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution.”
