Lindsay Lohan has dodged ANOTHER bullet. She is NOT going to jail for her failed alcohol test. She arrived in court in stripes to face Judge Stephanie Sautner to explain her failed alcohol test taken after her infamous balcony barbecue and whether or not it violated probation.

And although Lindsay Lohan is claiming her apartment is alcohol-free, TMZ obtained a photo of an open bottle of wine that was in her place days before the barbecue.

But holy crap Lohan, like a cat, must have 9 lives because she is NOT going to jail! The reason? A technicality. Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled the previous judge only required controlled substance testing and because she failed an alcohol test she is not in violation of parole.  Can you say lucky mofo?

She’s not allowed any parties and is restricted to one friend at a time in her house. And because it was stated the testing was for the period January 3 – February 25, 2011 she is free to drink all she wants as long as she doesn’t drive (or leave her house).
