Eric Clapton and the power of alcohol--NDC

from USA Today 11/14

'At the height of his heroin addiction, Clapton was spending about
$16,000 a wek on the drug. Years later, when he turned to heavy
drinking, he was admitted to a hospital hours from death with five
bleeding ulcers.'

"In the lowest moments of my life, the only reason I didn't commit
suicide was that I knew I wouldn't be able to drink anymore if I was
dead."

That, my friends, is hardcore.
