Lindsay Lohan Drinking Again?

Reports have surfaced that Lindsay Lohan was seen drinking vodka last Friday night at Manhattan hotspot Beatrice Inn. Lohan was spotted there with on-and-off boy toy Stavros Niarchos, and Hills hearthrob Brody Jenner.

Friends say that if Lohan did indeed imbibe a drink or two, fans shouldn't worry. "Lindsay is learning how to work through her addictions and, once in a while, she chooses to have a cocktail," a friend told Rush & Molloy. But many addiction experts believe that casual drinking by someone with an alcohol addiction problem is dangerous.

Lindsay spent several months last year battling her personal demons at Utah's Cirque Lodge, and left the rehab center in October of 2007.

If true, this wouldn't be La Lohan's first fall off the sobriety wagon. In December, she admitted to throwing back some champagne during a New Year's Eve party in Italy.

Calls to Lohan's rep for comment were not immediately returned.
