Lindsay's Seven Days of Sobriety
After a year in Alcoholics Anonymous, Lindsay Lohan is celebrating a full week of sobriety.
"I haven't had a drink in seven days. Or anything. I'm not even legal to, so why would I?" the 20-year-old actor told People magazine on Monday.
Lohan said she had been "going to AA for a year, by the way," but had only acknowledged her attendance recently, because "it's no one's business. That's why it's anonymous!"
Earlier this month, the actor's mother, Dina Lohan, confirmed to E! News' Ryan Seacrest that the Mean Girls star had been attending meetings.
"You know, a lot of people she hangs out with go, and it's a positive thing," the elder Lohan said.
Though she attends meetings, Lohan denied ever feeling like she had a drinking problem but said she wanted to "find a balance."
"I was going out too much, and I knew that, and I have more to live for than that," she said.
The young star has taken public hits for her partying in the past. In July, James G. Robinson, the producer of her film, Georgia Rule, blasted her lack of professionalism in a letter, complaining that her nightlife was affecting production.
However, Lohan has repeatedly denied that she's as much of a party girl as some might think.
"I hate the term 'party girl'—I hate it," she told Harper's Bazaar in June. "I'm in this career for the longevity of it, not just for doing everything too fast and then running out of steam."
The actor said that despite her frequent appearances at various Hollywood hot spots, she refrains from drinking alcohol in public.
"I don't drink when I go to clubs. I drink with my friends at home, but there's no need to. I feel better not drinking. It's more fun. I have Red Bull," she told People.
Lohan said she was tired of being lumped into a category with "these people."
"I was like, 'I don't want to be written about at these clubs with these people.' I work, I act, I have a living. That's what I do every day. I work every single day," she told People.
There's no doubt that Lohan has a busy production schedule ahead of her. The actor is due to appear in her first-ever thriller, I Know Who Killed Me, as well as in the drama, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, an adaptation of a long-lost Tennessee Williams screenplay.
She'll also team up with Keira Knightley in the British film, The Best Times of Our Lives, as the wife of poet Dylan Thomas.
