http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=69fcdc82-68f9-4f5f-b7cf-9c2d26bcb644 So much for anonymous. Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina, has told E! News' Ryan Seacrest that her daughter has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, though the elder Lohan stopped short of saying that the starlet has formally entered the program. Dina Lohan made the comments to Seacrest on his KIIS-FM Los Angeles radio show Friday, adding that her 20-year-old daughter does not have a drinking problem per se, but is simply attending the meetings as many of her friends do and have found them beneficial. "That is true," she replied, when asked if Lindsay was attending AA meetings. "You know, a lot of people she hangs out with go, and it's a positive thing. As a parent, you tell them what you can tell them, but she's 20 and I'm not gonna say, 'Stay home and don't go out,' that's a ridiculous thing to do. "I'm there for support, and I'll obviously give her my opinion, but she's very smart." The mother of three has never publicly come out against her eldest daughter's nonstop partying and the bad press that results. Over the summer, James G. Robinson, the producer of the Lindsay star vehicle Georgia Rule, issued a public letter to the actress, deriding her behavior on the movie set as that of a "spoiled child" and saying that her party-hearty ways were affecting production. Dina quickly defended her daughter, saying Lindsay was a consummate professional who had to be taken to the hospital because of on-set conditions, not because of late nights, and calling Robinson's public scolding "ridiculous." "I'm a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child," she said at the time. "I don't feel it should be aired out and everyone should know. It's personal." At least until now. Reports of Lohan being active in the 12-step program first began circulating in November, when paparazzi photos of the Mean Girls star donning a red sobriety chip reading "90 Days" made the Internet rounds. The chips are typically distributed to AA members to commemorate different lengths of sobriety.

She is just going because her friends go? Is this the new thing in Hollywood?

I read something online, dont remember where but she apparently was seen going into an AA meeting in her neighborhood the morning after she went out with Brittney and Paris. I say good luck to the kid if she is trying.

And, I'd say stay the heck away from Brittney and Paris, but then I'd say that to just about anyone.

Why are all those clubs in NY, LA and Vegas allowing her in when she's only 20?? The WHOLE WORLD knows her age!!! Why aren't they fined or padlocked? No one has ever discussed the issue on TV.

She should come up to Canada. The United States has the highest legal drinking age in the world.

California has always been 21, but I thought some state used to be 18, at some point. LOL.. I didn't realize it was as far back as 1984! http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/YouthIssues/1092767630.html Actually that really just means people under 21 cannot purchase alchol and not drink in public and it still varies by state..
quote:National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 as follows: “The legal age for alcohol in the USA is 21 years old. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 required all states to raise their minimum purchase and public possession of alcohol age to 21. States that did not comply faced a reduction in highway funds under the Federal Highway Aid Act. The U.S. Department of Transportation has determined that all states are in compliance with this act. The national law specifically prohibits purchase and public possession of alcoholic beverages. It does not prohibit persons under 21 (also called youth or minors) from drinking. The term "public possession" is strictly defined and does not apply to possession for the following: * An established religious purpose, when accompanied by a parent, spouse or legal guardian age 21 or older * Medical purposes when prescribed or administered by a licensed physician, pharmacist, dentist, nurse, hospital or medical institution * In private clubs or establishments * In the course of lawful employment by a duly licensed manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer.” 1 (Emphasis in original. Conspicuously not emphasized is the significant fact that “the law does not prohibit persons under 21 (also called youth or minors) from drinking.”) The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) subsequently identified 19 states which did not specifically prohibit the consumption of alcohol by persons under the age of 21. However, those states are in compliance with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. It would appear that such states could legally only charge underage persons with public possession of alcohol, not underage drinking. The title of the legislation itself is clearly misleading in that the National Minimum Age Drinking Act doesn’t prohibit drinking by persons under the age of 21 (so-called “underage” persons) nor does it require the states to prohibit such drinking. In addition, descriptions of the law contribute to the false belief that it does. For example, the assertion that “the legal age for alcohol in the USA is 21 years old” clearly leaves the false impression that the minimum legal drinking age for alcohol is 21.

And according to this article in the Wikipedia, much Canada has the third highest in most provinces at age 19 (Finnland, Sweden & Norway use 20 for stronger stuff, Thailand, Iceland and Japan have 20 Saudi Arabia makes it illegal, period. Ukraine, UAE use 21 along with the US. And looks like laws are variously enforced in various countries, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age

Texas drinking age used to be 18, back when I was 18. Then 19, again back when I was 19. Then and now it is 21. I remember in high school, the seniors were always running up to the larger city and going to clubs. It was a rite of passage we couldn't wait for. Of course many of the 16 and 17 year-olds got in the bars easily with a fake ID. Then in college, all college kids were of drinking age, and partying was a huge part of the lifestyle. Fortunately, for me, I went to a Christian college that didn't allow drinking so I could only go out secretly (and I was too chicken to do that) or in the summer time. I say fortunately because I can see how I would have been a mess if I was partying all the time back then--which is what I wanted to do. I didn't handle it well when I did. It's amazing there weren't more car wrecks and other tragedies. Of course, now that I'm in my 40's, I'm so glad the drinking age is 21 for the sake of my nephews and nieces. My friends and I just didn't have good sense back in our teen years. When we reminisce, we shudder. However, we didn't get good sense until we were closer to 30. Now I favorite drink is anything from Starbucks. I wouldn't trade being young for anything.

When I was growing up in Cincinnati the drinking age varied. You could drink and buy 3.2% beer at the age of 18. 6% beer, wine and the hard stuff at 21. We could go to clubs at 18 and drink 3.2%. It was in the same building as the regular clubs but in a different section with a separate entrance. They stamped your hand and if you had a stamp you could not get into the higher up section.... . When I moved to Georgia the drinking age was 19. All of this was in the middle to late 70's. Lets see in keeping with the Hollywood thread. I did run into Vince Gill from time to time when he was playing there with Pure Prairie League.

OT, but... When I graduated high school, most of my peers were 18, and I was still 16. That year, they changed the drinking age from 18 to 21. So my peers (who had been my peers since 6th grade - I skipped 4th & 5th) and my new college friends could all go out to clubs to go dancing, etc. -- and I still had FIVE YEARS to wait. It was miserable.

"Prison Break" actor in car crash that killed teen LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Lane Garrison of the popular U.S. television show "Prison Break" was in a car accident late on Saturday that killed a 17-year-old boy and injured two other teenagers, Beverly Hills police said on Sunday. ADVERTISEMENT Garrison, 26, was inside his sport utility vehicle when it crashed into a tree in Beverly Hills at about 11:50 p.m. local time, Sergeant Shan Davis said, adding that police were still investigating which of the car's four occupants was driving and what caused the collision. Garrison received minor injuries, but a 17-year-old boy was pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Medical Center following the accident. Two 15-year-old girls were also injured, one critically. Garrison plays "Tweener" on the Fox jailhouse drama "Prison Break." Fox is a unit of News Corp.

My 17 year old nephew was killed in an alcohol related single car accident 3 years ago. His father or his father's sister bought him the alcohol. When I was a cocktail waittress in Lubbock, TX it was legal for a parent to bring their child in (no matter how young) and buy them a drink if they wanted to. Thank goodness it rarely happened but it was legal apparently.

I almost forgot ~ the night Brittney Spears was caught getting out of a car without panties on she had previously that day spent $3,200 on underwear at Le Bra according to Inside Edition. I guess she forgot she had new duds to wear.
