Portrait of the Artist as a Drunken Addict

Life Magazine has a series of photos of writers known for their love of drink or drugs, often accompanied with a quote or blurb. It's interesting to note variations in the descriptions of what each is labelled as having used: for example, "alcohol" or "booze". Several receive a catch-all label of "drugs." William S. Burroughs is labelled as using heroin, ignoring the range of drugs he espoused. But possibly my favorite is Hunter S. Thompson, who is labelled simply with "Everything".

I wish they'd put more work into some of the captions, though he quotes they do use are quite good and do include both positive and negative comments.
