LINDSAY LOHAN: I FAILED BOOZE TEST BECAUSE OF "TEA"

MODEL CITIZEN

FORMER actress Lindsay Lohan has put on her most unconvincing performance to date by claiming that she failed an alcohol test, because she was "drinking tea".

After her latest court appearance she said: "I am responsible, and I'm following the rules and obeying my judge and the Los Angeles judicial system."

UN-TRAD-ITIONAL

AS novel excuses go, this one was a doozy.
Booze hound Salem Trad, 22, claimed he couldn't have been drunk behind the wheel when his speeding car smashed into a taxi, because he was having sex in the backseat.

The third passenger also denied being the driver.
Whatever was happening in that car, it cost Trad $22,000 in court after a Fairfax, VA county court awarded the taxi driver he smashed into, Abdu Omar, substantial damages.
