LOS ANGELES — Troubled Demi Moore shocked friends before her collapse by guzzling gallons of Red Bull.
The gaunt actress, 49 — admitted to the hospital amid reports of anorexia — replaced both food and booze with the caffeine energy drink, a friend said.
“Demi avoids alcohol and instead drinks tons of Red Bull when she goes out,” the source explained. “But in recent months she’s not been eating much, so she’s also been drinking it in the day to give her energy to get through.”
The “Ghost” star — struggling to cope with her split from cheating husband Ashton Kutcher, 33 — was seen clutching a glass of Red Bull earlier this month on a night out with her daughter Rumer, 23.

The source said, “She seemed drunk but I don’t think any alcohol passed her lips, just loads of Red Bull. It’s not a healthy way to live.”
Moore was taken to the hospital in Los Angeles by ambulance Monday.
Friends claim she was driven to despair by Ashton openly flirting with other women, then calling her when “at a low moment.”
The star’s spokeswoman said, “Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her health.”
