BBC said:
According to The Sun, Winehouse "took hit after hit of the deadly drug after a 19-minute binge in which she snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine".

The Sun says that the video footage was taken just after 0500 GMT last Friday morning.

The footage is grainy and appears to be camera phone quality, while a date and time in the corner of the screen suggests it was filmed on a video camera.
Above quote taken from the BBC website.

Regardless of the why's and wherefore's of the drug taking itself - my question is this.

Why on Earth would you do take half the drugs under the sun in full view of presumably a random with a camera? Surely a friend of hers wouldn't have taken the footage?

How stupid can you get?

Drugs supplied by The Sun probably in another 'clever' sting operation.

I don't know what people's problem is with Winehouse. People coveted shit bands like the Stones for years and laughed at their extravagant drug habits and yet she gets slated for it.

Just goes to show what a the average Sun reader is.

Thread title gave me an entirely different mental image.

Reality can be so disappointing.

Probably because she had a bottle of vodka for breakfast as usual and was too off her face to notice?

Problem is we don't seem to have anyone in that middle ground of hoovering up the marching powder at after-show parties but getting on with the task of making bloody good music afterwards, we've got just two extremes,

a) Take anything and everything and get a reputation (no doubt egged on by journos) for stumbling about in public places and being too off their head to produce anything but a cursory, phoned-in performance.

b) Be irritatingly squeaky-clean and earnest, pretentiously-still-middle-class save the world types, who are of course so pathetically unimaginative all they can come up with is banal advertisement soundtracks.

I blame the disappearance of the Commer van as a means of band transport, personally.

Conveniently right in front of her wedding photo rolleyes

The cynical side of me says leaked by her PR team. Even the red tops were getting bored of her, have to ramp it up a notch.

Let's get this right. You are upset that a young woman with an obviously serious mental and physical health problem has so far failed to kill herself for your enjoyment.

FFS.

On your way out remember to get a vasectomy.

I have a 73p each way bet on it being faked. It all seems rather convenient and professional.

I fail to see why anyone, even the very old and/or the catastrophically lonely, would sink so low as to watch local news. I might as well ask to be bukkaked with irrelevance.

I believe drugs are more potent and dangerous today. Plus, with all that is known of their ill effects compared to 40 years ago.....one is just stupid to do that.
