That makes two of us. The only real alcohol I ever had was when I was six, once, under my mother's supervision (she wanted me to try whatever is called "медовуха").

The stereotype of a true artist, however, is against us when it comes to public image. The fact that some of the most popular artists have included various degrees of "high" into their lives (Stephen King and George Carlin are just two names off the top of my head) just adds to that.

Apparently, getting high can be a good way either to defend yourself against or attempt to outrun your demons - or the abyss.

As a teetotalling Russian you must understand that stereotypes really only have the power you grant them...

I never said you should get drunk. I said many do, because demonspotting is a hell of a hobby to have.
