Christina Aguilera was momentarily arrested on Tuesday subsequent to being found drunk in a public place and appearing not able to care for herself, the police informed.

The 30-year-old singer was sobering for several hours in the West Hollywood police station before she was released. Spokesman Steve Whitmore of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the reporters that the police officials have no plan of prosecuting her.

Aguilera was inside a car with her boyfriend, who was driving erratically in the West Hollywood district. They were being pulled over by a police before dawn on Tuesday. Her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, was held in prison for suspected drunken driving.

Whitmore said the five-time Grammy Award winner was incapable of taking care of herself. Although incapacitated, Aguilera was cooperative. Whitmore said she was not violent in any way, but was just intoxicated.

The spokesman added they arrested the singer on a misdemeanor for public intoxication, but have no intent to prosecute. Aguilera was released nearly four hours after staying in the police station and was picked up by a person known as her friend.

In October, Aguilera filed a divorce petition against Jordan Bratman whom she had been married  to for five years. She was also criticized for messing up the lyrics of the U.S. national anthem aired before a TV audience of millions of people in last month’s Super Bowl.

She debuted as a movie actress in the musical film “Burlesque” in December. However, the movie got poor reviews and disappointing ratings at the box office.

Eastern European teenagers have been reportedly involved in drunkenness for the past decade according to the Swiss research. This bad habit has become more widespread, particularly in the Eastern European girls as alcohol marketing has reached the younger audiences.

Based on the study made among 80,000 teenagers at the age of 15, the general teens’ population had been drunk on an average of two to three times. However, it appears that drunkenness was becoming less frequent in the Western countries.

It appears that adolescents in Eastern Europe think of alcohol consumption as an attractive lifestyle. On the other hand, the teenage boys in Western Europe and North America, considered as the high-consuming group before, had resented to alcohol consumption and drunkenness.

According to the researchers, the lack of alcohol marketing and social control of leisure time had kept the adolescent drunkenness down before.

But, the increasing and aggressive marketing of alcohol in the 1990s contributed to the increase in alcohol use in today’s teenagers.

The average frequency of drunkenness across all seven Eastern European countries has increased to about 40 percent over the last 10-year study period. It appears that global marketing have been triumphant to increase excessive consumption of alcohol among teenagers in the Eastern Europe as noted by the researchers.

As a result of the given findings, the researchers suggest that Eastern European countries should give emphasis on public health to ward of drunkenness. This could be done through increasing taxes on alcohol, as well as restricting alcohol advertisement.
