  The fact that Lemmy Kilmister and Ritchie Blackmore are not on this list shows how little you know about them....

  Just because alcohol is legal in most countries, doesnt mean it shouldnt be classified as a hard drug. Drinking long term or excessively in a short time is as deadly as heroin.

  How in the hell is Dennis Wilson not on this list? His slow demise and ultimate end was all due to alcohol combined with other drugs.

  Dean Martin was not a heavy drinker until later in his life after the death of his son. He NEVER drank on-stage. However, he was a heavy smoker

  Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom, who I expect no one outside the metal scene to be familiar with but still, should be number 1. He drank so much whiskey he literally dissolved parts of his liver and pancreas, leading to his internal organs basically eating themselves, before ultimately ODing on opioids and sleeping pills. Fucking brutal.<br><br>Also, kind of insensitive to alcoholics and people with depression to just say every single person on this list drank cuz they were sad and more or less saying all their deaths were inevitable. People start drinking and using drugs for a variety of reasons and both addiction and depression are possible to deal with.

  The actor W.C. Fields said (something like ) “I don’t drink water because fish have sex in it”. It will make you think the next time you have a glass of Adam’s ale.
