Lindsay Lohan is what? 23? And she is known as a world class drunk? A while back, she pled no contest to DWI. She was DWI on more than one occasion. She was sentenced to probation, and to taking classes and staying sober. She was promised the reward given to all citizens who follow the program, who stay sober and who go to the classes -- Her record would have been wiped cleaned.

Now, I understand  addiction. Staying sober is not as easy as it sounds, even if a person wants to, and tries hard. Failure is not a stranger when the call to give in to drink is strong. Alcoholism is a disease. DWI is a crime, and there must be consequences for crime. The court has placed Ms. Lohan on a strict routine. Weekly checks and the 24/7 wearing of an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet.  And she has been warned, comply with the probation or risk going to jail. See Video.

All of this could have been avoided, if she had gone to the classes and stayed from behind the wheel, when she go into a car.
