Amy Winehouse--A Living Warning Of The Danger Of Drug Use



Amy Winehouse in her happier days of 2003.

Amy Winehouse was (allegedly, no way to be sure) horribly intoxicated and drugged when she attempted to perform in Serbia on the first stop of her newest music tour. She spent almost an hour and a half struggling to remember her own lyrics, slurring her speech, and otherwise serving as a walking, talking example of the dangers of drug use. She's had to cancel some of her performances and may have to cancel all of them and has gone from a promising young musical talent to the punchline of jokes. As the lyrics say, "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, 'No, no, no.'" Well, Ms. Winehouse actually did say yes to rehab--numerous times--but she keeps appearing to be having substance abuse issues. If anyone serves as a good example of why it is wise to not even start using drugs, she is it.
