Lily Allen thinks her (many) drinks were probably spiked

I

’m starting to think that Lily Allen may just be a high functioning alcoholic. Instead of taking responsibility for the copious amounts of alcohol she drank at the Glamour Awards on Tuesday night, Allen is hypothesizing that her drinks were actually spiked.

Last night Lily was overheard chatting to Janet Street-Porter outside The Royal Academy of Arts 24th Summer Exhibition Preview Party in Piccadilly, suggesting her condition may not have had anything to do with the prodigious amount of alcohol she consumed.

The 23-year-old said: 'Yeah, I don't know what happened, maybe I was spiked. I don't remember a thing. I can normally get really drunk, but not like that.'

Lily's night at the Glamour awards took a turn for the worse after a brief spell in the toilets left her incapable of standing up straight. Earlier she had been spotted taking full advantage of the free bar - drinking champagne, gin, vodka and Asahi beer. After a trip to the bathroom, security staff carried her outside, passing her over a fence and putting her in a cab.

Last night she said: 'The worrying thing was that I was like a dead weight. I have been out so many times and got drunk and never ended up like that.

May I step in and suggest that it was perhaps not the result of a spiking, but more likely the result of the champagne, gin, vodka, AND beer. I realize there is of course a chance her drinks were spiked, but considering her long and well documented history of overindulging, it’s more likely that Allen just drank herself under the table.

Though she officially took responsibility for her drunkenness with a blog entry on her MySpace page clearly Lily Allen doesn’t think she has an actual problem. She makes light of her behavior, making it sound like one of those random, rare, stupid things we all do. Considering how often she supposedly ends up trashed – combined with making excuses like her drinks were spiked – it makes you worry that Lily has a much more serious problem that she needs to work on.
