Again (for I don't know - the fourth or fifth time!). I AM NOT DEFENDING AMANDA BYNES ACTIONS. What I am disgusted with are the comparisons to Lindsay Lohan and a train wreck, like One Mistake, makes you an alcoholic or druggie or burn out! Like everyone here is so perfect and they've never made a mistake!
It's got nothing to do with defending drunk drivers, it's got to do with being so quick to judge and make such harsh comments about a 20-something girl who made a big mistake and I'm sure is getting plenty of "lectures" from her loved ones.
The fact that she was left in jail overnight and was not immediately bailed out shows me that she DOES have people who care about her, that they are trying to teach her a lesson, that no ones making excuses for her. The complete opposite of Lindsay Lohan who's family blames the other parent, the paparazzi, the public, the courts and the legal system as if she's done absolutely nothing wrong and doesn't deserve everything's that's happened to her.
One DUI does not make a train wreck, one DUI doesn't even make you an alcoholic - one DUI means you used extremely poor judgment, and got caught and must now pay the price. You can be as disgusted as you want by Amanda Bynes ACTIONS, but some of the comments here towards Amanda Bynes, the PERSON, are rather harsh and uncalled for.
According to her Dad, she was not drunk ....
According to her Dad, she was not drunk and, in fact, doesn't drink at all! Poor guy, I think he really believes it.
I heard about that too, he said that she had a blood alcohol level of zero..umm if that was the case she wouldn't have received a DUI

Well, not necessarily. You can be DUI/OUI on things other than alcohol.
