CAPRI, Italy – Lindsay Lohan has apparently suffered a setback in her attempt to remain sober.
A video of the actress drinking champagne directly from a bottle while in Capri, Italy, hit the Internet Thursday, first appearing on TMZ.com.
“After being handed a champagne bottle while on a dance floor in Italy on New Year’s Eve and drinking from it, the good news is that Lindsay stopped herself, called her sponsor, and got herself back on track,” her lawyer, Blair Berk, told People magazine. “There is no magic cure here. The most unfortunate part of this is that Lindsay has to share her ‘one day at a time’ with the entire world.”
The 21-year-old actress was in Italy to receive an award at the 12th Annual Capri Hollywood International Film Festival. In the video, she is seen thanking organizers for inviting her to the festival, giving a shout out to John Malkovich, then later taking a swig from a bottle of champagne while on the dance floor.
In October, the “Mean Girls” actress checked out of the exclusive Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah, where she had been in treatment since August.
Lohan’s treatment there began in the weeks following her early morning July 24 arrest in Santa Monica, Calif., on suspicion of drunken driving after a brief car chase.
