Alcohol, cocaine, marijuana. It's a drugged out world we live in.

Here's a look at some of the drug-related stories moving across AP's wires:

• In Rome, researchers have found there are traces of cocaine and cannabis in the Eternal City's air. For more on Rome's "high" air quality, read this AP report out of Italy.
• The weekend arrest of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, 20, for investigation of driving under the influence does beg the question: Who served the under-age Hollywood star alcohol? In this AP report out of Los Angeles, reporter John Rogers looks at how the California Alcohol Beverage Control Board is starting to crack down on the Hollywood club scene.
• In Culpeper, Va., police arrested two people for public intoxication after they tried to avoid drinking and driving by heading home on horseback.
• Finally, customers in the southern Dutch city of Maastricht will have to offer up their fingerprints and have their ID's scanned at coffee shops that are licensed to sell marijuana. The measures are expected to help stores show they are not selling pot to underage customers and not selling more than the maximum permitted to a customer, such as the young man shown above, on any given day.
