Loving to get wasted has also been a major factor in their lives. Petty was a coke-fiend for decades. I don't understand why we're willing to cut celebrities like Petty, Prince, and Carrie Fischer more slack for their over-indulgence with drugs than we are a dude we went to high school with who wound up a drunk or a coke-head.
