Lindsay Lohan is Back to Boozing

Well, Lindsay Lohan had a good run for a minute there. She appeared to be sober, and not high, and not hitting things with her car for a good couple of weeks. But it looks like she's back to her old boozing ways; TMZ reports that the "Liz & Dick" star has been drowning her sorrows in up to two liters of vodka a day.
OK, so yeah, that might be an exaggeration on their part. Let's be real. But we're inclined to believe the sources that say she's hitting the bottle. The gossip site reports:
According to sources, Lindsay's become so stressed by her dire financial situation and the impending probation violation -- stemming from her PCH crash this summer -- that she's turned to alcohol for relief.
This newly replenished love for the bottle was apparently the reason behind her recent alleged bar brawl.
