Cocaine and alcohol...

[Wdm6789]

I'm somewhat new here and I apologize if this has been a topic before.

I always want to know more details about the band's cocaine and alcohol use. Does anyone know of any cool stories or details about the bands' or individual members' cocaine and alcohol habits?

Read Mick Fleetwood's book, Carol Ann Harris' book, & Ken Caillat's book. Apparently there's mention of Stevie's usage in Ann & Nancy Wilson's book.

Stevie's 20/20 Downtown interview is one of the more graphic I've seen regarding her own drug usage.

was Christine really a cocaine addict? She gave it up her on own and with no apparent problem.I think alcohol was more her substance of choice.You also left out Mick who snorted coke for longer than Stevie and Chris combined and drank like a fish until quite recently.

I don't think Christine was a cocaine addict, I know she definitely indulged with the rest of them, she might have been an alcoholic though, I did read where she quit in cocaine in 1984. In Mick's book he said they all had quit during the mid 80s, I got the impression that Stevie was the last to quit, obviously needing rehab. I wonder how it was making the Tango album without cocaine, they had been doing coke since 1976.

I read Mick's book and I plan on reading Carol Ann's


I read an interview where Christine said her and Stevie would keep coke in little bottles on their necklaces. And I read that they rationed the coke in Heineken bottle caps during concerts, but Mick had his own rotating table to Heineken bottle caps just for him.

Mick was the last to quite doing coke..he claims to have stopped in 1995..Stevie may have had him beat for amount consumed at their peak years of consumption but I am betting it was close.
