“She has been drinking a little bit,” says a pal. “Over her week in New York, she did have a few drinks.” To make matters worse for LL, rumors are flying about an impending break-up between her & her new beau, Riley.

After a late-night visit to the Beatrice Inn on Monday, says the source, Lohan was calling Manhattan pals for a place to stay. One friend received numerous voice messages around 4am. But the first source says Lindsay’s alcohol intake was in moderation.
“For Lindsay, her real problem was drugs, not alcohol. In the past, it wasn’t the drinking that was the problem – it was the heavy drug use,” says the friend. “The drug use was way more intense than her party drinking. As long as she isn’t doing drugs, she’s okay.”

Tuesday, Lindsay’s spokeswoman assured us the actress was not consuming alcohol. “These so-called friends are making up things about her,” she said.

Hollywood breeds the best friends, don’t they?
