I don't really get the idea that artists cannot create good music if they're straight. Maybe some can't because they don't really have any creativity in them or if they've used themselves up during the years of their career, so they resort to alcohol/drugs, in hope that they may become their muse. Others just seem to have an addiction and don't bother to get rid of it. I congratulate those who do, or at least try to.
Having that said, I think everyone has a right to do pretty much what they want as long as they don't endanger others in the process. It's their life.
As far as I'm concerned, a can or two of beer has been my peak, and I intend to stay that way. Drugs, nah. I'll just get addicted, and I don't have the money for a steady supply
