Nicole Richie Enrolls In Alcohol Education Program - PIC

Nicole Richie is already six months pregnant, but she has decided that now is the time to enroll in a lengthy, anti-drinking education program. Ok, she had to do it for court after she drove the wrong way down a freeway on Vicodin and marijuana, but I feel like this information would have been a lot more helpful to her a while ago.

Papers were filed with the Superior Court of California showing that on September 26, Nicole signed up for an 18-month anti-drinking driver course called the SB 38 Alcohol Program, typically used by people convicted of more than one DUI within 7 years.

There will be 52 hours of group counseling, bi-weekly face-to-face interviews, and 12 hours of alcohol education. She’ll also be encouarged to attend 12-step meetings.

I think with the baby Nicole is really going to turn it around, but just in case they might want to require a driver’s education class about which direction one normally travels on roadways, and perhaps a class on the effects of weed and perscription drugs on one’s ability to drive. I’m just sayin’.

What others are saying:

Bricks and Stones says, “The one question I have though is what the hell will she learn about alcohol in there? I mean I think she already knows about every kind of alcohol, pill, every strain of weed, coke, etc.”

Yeeeah! says, “When I was a Sophomore in college my roommate and I got busted drinking 40’s of Coors Light in our dorm room and were forced to spend two Saturdays taking some bullshit alcohol responsibility classes — and let me tell you, it was hell. I’ve tried to repress the memories as much as possible, but I will say there was role playing involved. With strangers. I wouldn’t wish 18 months of that on somebody if they killed my whole family. So let’s just say, if I were Nicole — I’d see if jail were maybe still an option.”

Daily Blabber says, “So, she’s got three more months of attending these classes while pregnant — then the baby comes. I hope this school has daycare.”
