According to a new report from RadarOnline, Lindsay Lohan — currently rehabbing herself at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA — tried to escape the grounds of the rehab center to score some Coke … as in the carbonated soft drink beverage. I guess L. Lo was really dying for some soda pop and just had to try and get some off the rehab grounds:
Lindsay Lohan was caught trying to escape the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, earlier this week, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. But all Lohan, 24, desperately wanted to score was a coke fix — of the cola variety! In a tale so bizarre it is almost unbelievable, RadarOnline.com has confirmed the Hollywood wild child attempted to flee the Betty Ford grounds to sneak into the nearby Eisenhower Medical Center, in a bid to buy a soda from a vending machine. Lohan’s rouse was almost pulled off it wasn’t for her accomplice, another patient, whose clothing got caught on the fence. “Lindsay and her co-conspirator were forced to give it up and flag down a volunteer, who was crossing the center’s grounds on a golf cart,” a source, with knowlegde of the situation, told RadarOnline.com. “The pair was safely returned, decaffeinated, to their hall, were they were the center of a process meeting over what they had done.”
You know, as long as she was only lookin’ for soda pop and not anything else, I’d say this is a hopeful story. While I’m certain there are rules in rehab prohibiting luxuries like caffeine, this story could’ve been a lot more tragic. I just hope that Lindsay is really learning to control her demons … this is her chance to save her own life. Here’s hoping she makes good use of the opportunity she has been given to sober up.

What is tragic is that Lindsay still has this attitude that she doesn’t have to abide by “rules”. Whether it be the laws of the land or the rules of the facility. She needs to wake up, grow up and take responsibility for herself………and if she isn’t allowed soda then suck it up and deal. ugh
Many rehab centers don’t allow their clients to have caffeine… given that it’s addictive and they are there to cure their additions, not replace one with another.
I just pictured two twentysomething girls running for the fence giggling. Kinda made me smile a bit, not gonna lie. It would be nice if she made some friends in rehab to keep her on the straight and narrow and to support each other. A much better support system than her family if you ask me.
If she’s only looking for soda that’s great, but caffeine is an addictive stimulant so I’m sure there’s an actual reason it’s not offered at Betty Ford..
yeah i wouldn’t call caffeine a luxury as much as a drug… but it IS good that that’s all she was looking for. IMO this shows that some good work is being done, if she is so desperate for any kind of high that even the mild caffeinated high of cola would satisfy her. things get a lot harder before they get better. betty ford seems like a better rehab for her than ucla.
cola is better then coke or meth, right??
