Celebrity Justice
Alcohol Agency Probes Lohan Caper

The agency that regulates alcoholic beverages in California has contacted the Beverly Hills Police Department to determine if there's evidence that Lindsay Lohan or other minors were illegally served alcohol the night of the crash.

As TMZ reported, in the hours before Lohan crashed her car, she was partying at a West Hollywood nightspot -- Les Deux. TMZ has video of Lohan leaving the club around 3:30 AM, an hour-and-a-half after closing time.

John Carr, spokesperson for California's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, tells TMZ that his agency wants to review witness reports and other evidence to determine if a formal investigation is warranted.

Last year, TMZ broke several stories of underage stars drinking at Hollywood clubs. Carr says that since our report, his agency has conducted 10 undercover operations at various clubs, though he wouldn't say if they got the goods.

TMZ contacted the rep for Les Deux. Our calls were not immediately returned.

77. 10 undercover operations in the last year?? While vids are all over the net of Lindsay walking into every bar in town? What baloney. Making public that they're going undercover? "Hey Clubs--be careful, we're trying to bust you!" What's next? "After extensive undercover operations led by Barney Fife of the Hollywood Police Department, we have determined that the clubs operating in Hollywood are abiding by the law". If Lindsay's serious about rehab this time, I hope she comes out naming every club that served her. It's a good thing she crashed when she did doing about 25 mph before she got on the freeway or where the nightowls were walking the sidewalks downtown cuz, if that happened those saying "What's the big deal? It's not like she killed someone!" wouldn't be shooting off their ignorant mouths and those saying they wished she was dead would probably have gotten their wish! Sad thing is, underaged "minions" ARE dying every day from driving under the influence and being served in bars and that's why I hope Ca finally does something about their underaged drinking problem and if a "star" has to bring it to the point where the public becomes aware and demands they do something about it perhaps someone's child won't die because some Hollywood brat lost control of her 600hp ragtop. I think something far more important than if Lindsay Lohan turns her life around is that those stinking bars quit serving alcohol to our children, and that happens, not just in Hollywood, but EVERYWHERE!!!

80. It's about time they do somthing to these kids and the places that are serving. In our world we'd never get away with this why should they. It's absolutely ridiculous what they get away with in Hollywood.

81. Hollywood REALLY needs a reality check. I love LA but I am so sick to death of the double standards that are perpetuated in Hollywood. These people are so UNWORTHY of it too. I can see if someone turns a blind eye to Bill Gates or someone who really MATTERS and makes a difference, but Paris, Lindsay, all the rest of those LOSERS and the clubs that serve minors because they are celebs....I think not. These clubs should lose their licences to serve liquor and these girls should never get an acting job again. If terrorists need a good target for bombs....
