9 artists whose lifestyle would kill a normal man

Alcohol, iron livers and drug abuse - this is why weekday drinking is bad for office workers

Matt Healy: The 1975 frontman hs confessed to being a "big time" coke addict before the band got big. Healy appears to have kicked the habit, but frequently appears onstage chugging a bottle of wine.

Lil Wayne: The rapper spent several days in hospital in March 2013 after suffering from a string of seizures, allegedly from drinking a dangerous concoction of promethazine and codeine.

Pete Doherty: The former Libertines star has famously battled drug addiction for a number of years. Numerous stints in rehab haven't helped - Doherty recently admitted he's still using drugs, saying it's "difficult to stop". "It's no longer fun," he added.

Snoop Dogg: This man smokes enough weed to put most people in a coma for months on end. He even converted to rastafarianism for pete's sake. Yet despite his intake he seems to be doing more than most of his contemporaries combined. Seriously this guys is seriously motivated.

David Bowie: During the shooting of The Man Who Fell to Earth Bowie was ingesting up to 10g of Cocaine a day, living off a diet of coke and reportedly keeping his urine in the fridge. Someone please explain how this man is still alive.

Josh Homme: Although the main man has calmed down in recent years, the lyric for 'Feel Good Hit of the Summer' speak for themselves. "Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohol/C-c-c-c-c-cocaine".

Eminem: The rapper struggled with prescription drugs for a long period of his life, one which he refers to as his "dark days". In 2005 he overdosed on methadone. He always came back fighting and is now back on top form.

Keith Richards: Some of the stuff Richards did in his hey day read like a horror story. He once told interviewer Pete Rodrick: "I looked upon the body as a laboratory I used to throw in this chemical and then that one to see what would happen".

Ozzy Osbourne: The original hellraiser, he wrote the book on cocaine and alcohol abuse, swiftly entering a downward spiral that only his wife Sharon could rescue him from.

Music, drink and drugs have always gone together, that's just a fact. Mind expanding substances and an emotive medium will always be entangled, however what is amazing is how some musicians have made it through years of abuse. Imagine the endless hangovers, the hair of the dog, the nausea, the anxiety. These musicians must have the internal build of a superhero.

A mixture of old and new, these artists have a love for different types of poison, both legal and illegal. Yet they either manage to handle the influence proffessionally, or have put it behind them as they grew into their older years.

Honestly you can't handle what these guys are having, it would kill you.
