BUBBLY MARIAH DROWNING IN DRINK!

Pals press her to scale back the partying

- 

FANS roasted drunk-as-a-skunk diva Mariah Carey for slurring her way through a gig with rapper Busta Rhymes at a MTV VMAs after-party, sources tell GLOBE.

Sources snitch that years of hard partying are catching up with the 56-year-old chanteuse, with friends urging her to ditch the booze and get help.

“No one wants to begrudge her a good time, but clearly, Mariah was bombed at the after-party,” spills an insider.

“It's no secret she drinks morning, noon and night. It’s always cocktail time when she’s relaxing and she’s been doing a lot more of that lately.”
