Brad Pitt Denounces Booze because of His Daughter
Show Buzz | October 16, 2007, Tuesday
The Ocean's Thirteen Brad Pitt star decided to massively cut down his alcohol intake after seeing his adopted daughter Zahara, choke on an ice cube.
Pitt then thought drinking beer made him a neglectful dad. He said: "It's not easy to be a good father when you've had a few drinks.
"About a year ago I'd had a couple of beers and my daughter Zahara had this piece of ice that had been dropped on the floor, and she was putting it in her mouth and began to choke on it, and that was it.
"You have to be absolutely on top of every situation. The other s**t doesn't work anymore. When they wake up in the middle of the night you have to be there.
"And you can't deal with children when you have a hangover - that's just a misery!"
Brad and his long-term partner Angelina Jolie have three adopted children, six-year-old Maddox, three-year-old Pax, and two year-old Zahara, as well as a 16-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh.
The 43-year-old actor insists his kids find it difficult to cope with having famous parents.
He explained to Total Film magazine: "It's odd for my children, man. They have this idea that there's this sea of people with cameras. This is their idea of the world they live in."

Brad Pitt Denounces Booze because of His Daughter
"after seeing his adopted daughter Zahara, choke on an ice cube."
I would "denounce" ice instead.
You know what's next of course:
a law suit for the company that produced the ice cube - probably because of its unsafe size and shape, and, this being the US, a campaign to ensure that no child ever again is placed in such a mortal danger, by introducing new guide lines for the use of ice, including different color-coded graphics of the degree of danger the ice may present based on among others the exact time passed since the ice was taken out of the freezer and exposed to the element, timing being of crucial factor, given the nature of ice, and its peculiar property of diminishing as a thereat as it stays in thew warm sunlight and melts....,.
Glad I got that off my chest....

Chalk that one off to non-familiarity with English in Sofia. The proper word is RENOUNCE, not DENOUNCE.
