Here’s an intriguing article from the Times of London, the alcohol diary of a columnist who thought: Oh hey, I’m getting on, maybe I should start cutting down, just in case, you know. Then he found out how much he really had been drinking, day in and day out. Not a pretty picture: I had […]

This is heartlessly stolen from the late Caroline Knapp‘s brilliant and beautiful book on alcoholism, Drinking, A Love Story. (ebook for purchase here; sample chapter here).

Shoplifting. It’s not the worst crime in the world, but as a lifestyle choice, it sucks ass pretty hard. Here, in his own words, is what the life of a professional shoplifter looks like.

Trent Reznor has chronicled his fight against heroin addiction in many songs throughout his career, and this is probably the best, an early example from their first […]
