Store Clerk Confirms Britney Spears Didn’t Buy Booze

Sources have confirmed to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ that the little bottle Britney Spears was photographed drinking was actually an herbal energy drink, not “whisky” as several tabloids reported. ‘ET’ also found the clerk at the convenience store where the supposed incident took place and he says Britney absolutely bought no booze, but did purchase a small bottle of ginseng and a carton of cigarettes. The agency of the photographer who snapped the photo caused most of the confusion, revising their initial claims in a statement: “According to our information, the bottle that Britney Spears was drinking from may or may not have been hard liquor. We are not prepared, at this stage, to confirm or deny the original information. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
