    I think the drinking age in the United States is also a part of the problem.

    sorry, but i think a lot of these hollywood stars who go into rehab and whatever are more for attention most of the time than actual treatment.....

    i know thatll prolly piss off a few ppl, buts its just what i reckon

    and for some reason (dont shoot me down for this) it seems like kinda a more american thing to do...i dunno why

    except she didnt publicize it. she didnt say anything abotu it. and she wasnt forced in by legal trouble with a big PR release saying she was checking in. she just started going and the tabloids followed her and broke the story. it's kinda sad. part of AA is keeping things anonymous. the storm of attention she's getting for it is going to hurt not only her, but other people who go. it's sad. leave the poor girl alone and let her work on herself in peace.

    yes, 21 is a RIDICULOUS age........way too old, and it only encourages teenagers to experiment more

    i mean, u graduate high school in USA at 18.........AND CANT GO TO A FUCKEN PUB FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS! crazy.......

    in Oz the legal age is 18, which is perfect.....a lot of teenage drinking still happens, but thats only natural i think

    tho we are viewed as by a lot of other nations as a boozy country :)

    yeah we learned how to drink when we were really young.. there were a couple of my friends parents who made them wait till they were 18 and they are the ones that are the alcoholics and the ones that can't handle themselves in public places when they've had like 4 or 5 drinks

    what kinda parenting is that? get your kids drunk with you and teach them while their young so they don't turn into rebellious crazy asshole drunks

    how christian of you. i hope your mother gets cancer. then i can say your grandparents should have beaten her more so she'd learned to take better care of herself.

    then there's jim morisson, janis joplin, jimi hendrix, kurt cobain, layne staley, hillel slovak, keith moon, john bonham, etc etc. lohan's far from the first musical star to struggle with the pressure of being famous. it's killed many. im glad she caught it before it was too late.

    Wow, can't believe you put Lindsay in a group with these musicians/icons. This is why Lindsay Lohan is a piece of shit... she is mediocre at best as an actress or musician/singer. It's her unaplogetic, partying lifestyle and attention-craving antics like flashing the paparazi that fuels her stardom. She's just like Paris Hilton.... a person who glamorizes a decadant lifestyle that is a slap in the face to pretty much everyone on earth - even Americans! And the media just eat it up and promote it as much as they can. It's like a fucking industry the money that is made from everybody pouncing on a young, impressionable starlet like Lohan. She still needs to take responsibility for her own actions, but no doubt there is a lack of positive influence in her life.

    Ya, I agree. I think blaming the alcohol or drugs is over-used by celebrities or poloticians a lot to deflect the blame of what else they were caught doing. In Lohan's case though, aside from some stupid tabloid stuff, it doesn't seem like she sought help to try to get out of trouble, moreso to help herself. I have no problem with what she was doing.

    there's NO EXCUSE for her to be an alcoholic at her age. pathetic. talk about a lack of parenting. just another hollywood spoiled brat.

    What were you doing at 20 years old? I drank A LOT more in highschool and college before I was 21, then probably after. I came from great parents and a great home, but my friends and I drank a lot (like most kids do). I am just lucky that I am not prone to addiction, or I would have been in the same boat as her.

    how is this not taking responsibility for her life? she quietly slows her life down and starts going to AA to recover from her problems, and people like you and miller give her hell about it. admit it, you dont WANT her to stop doing what she's doing, becos she allows you a target to point and and feel holier-than-thou and moan about how decadent american has become. you dont want her to get better, you want to make an example of her.

    drug problems are nothing new. she was 12 or so in her first movie, she has been in the spotlight her entire life. think of how emotionally confused and fucked up you were growing up in hs. it's a turbulent time. we all act out. she just had the mixed blessing of having to do it with cameras capturing her every act. now she's trying to get better and grow up, and you people STILL wont cut the girl some slack. if she's being bad, she's a whore. when she's trying to get better, she's still evil incarnate.

    get off your high horse.

  • Miller, I have a serious question for you....

    Would you rather her NOT go to meetings?

    Not only that. We in America can die for our country at age 18 but cannot drink until 21. There should be one age for both the benefits and the burdens
  • im not a christian. miller is.

    He is really? He probably skipped the parts of the bible that say "Love thy neighbor" and "Turn the other cheek"

    Perhaps you were banned because you are narrow-minded enough to make everything a Libs vs. Cons debate.

    Do you champion everythings that the Cons do?

    Do you go against every Lib position?

    Are your opinions based on your true feelings, or just the party lines?

    Dude, I'm not on a horse. I don't give a shit if Lindsay Lohan rises or falls, I just don't want to have to read about her pantiless crotch in the check-out line.

    I feel that people like Lohan, Spears and Hilton - who flaunt their decadant lifestyle to the masses are offensive. I have a right to judge others, ok? There is nothing wrong with that.

    It is a shame that such a young person has such an addiction. I'm happy that she has sought help and hope that she is sincere and dedicated to her recovery. It's not an easy road recovering from an addiction and unless she is truely dedicated to her recovery she is just wasting her time.

    Second, I don't think, regardless of the person, their age, or their fame, should we make light of their addiction. In the past I probabaly would have been one of the people calling her names and mocking her that is untill I wake up one day and found myself in the grip of an addiction.

    hilton, yes. but i dont think lohan has ever flaunted anything. she was a kid that threw some tantrums, only she's famous so hers got recorded. now she's quietly trying to change herself, and you're pissed about it. why? afraid you'll lose one of your scapegoats?

    yeah thats how we were...our parents didnt mind if we had a few drinks when we were 15, 16, as long as we told them where we were going and gave them the details they were cool with it...hell, they even bought our grog for us

    and we used to get drunk and stuff WITH our parents/elders at that age too, cos they thought as long as we did it with them we werent out 'terrorising the neighbourhood", hahaha

    and by the time u turn 18 (legal age!) the novelty kinda wears off anyway...i mean we still all go out and get trashed, but it usually isnt as much fun as it used to be when we were younger, yknow
