I remember back when I was young, there was one of them country guys who did stand up, and he always had either scotch or whiskey during his routines. He belonged to the you might be a redneck...group.

Ron white. Huh I thought he was dead.

Joe Cocker is famous for being pretty fucked up almost all the time. I watched a documentary, going to a concert of his was like maybe he'll be able to do more than one song.

Random quote from the interwebz

I saw JC twice during the 70s & 1 of those performances Cocker was sooo fn drunk he went behind the drummer & puked, then passed out!

I was listening to Knowledge Fight which isn't a regular listen for me, and it sounds to me like that Alex Jones dude is just shit faced at all times.

Bizzy Bone from Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony. Dude was a serious alcoholic. Saw his show back in like 2012 or 13, I forget the exact date, and he was completely shitfaced. He carried a handle of vodka and a bucket up onto the stage with him and alternated between drinking straight out of the bottle and then coughing/spitting/possibly puking into the bucket between songs. People in the crowd were like wtf man. It was disgusting. He had a fucked up childhood, so I'm not surprised he hit the bottle hard, but damn.

I haven’t kept up with him, but Doug Benson used to.

Eddie Vedder drinks his share of wine on stage but I'm not sure if he's shitfaced. I think it would be hard to tell given his style of singing(i very much like his singing, not bashing him).

Plenty of old-school metal bands, or well actually just a fair majority of metal bands in general I guess were/are quite partial to drinks/drugs.

Alice Cooper used to be a raging alcoholic. He managed to turn things around though and helps others with their addictions.

Pepper Coyote.

Apparently, the drunker he is by the end of the set, the funnier "No Cock, Like Horse Cock" gets. Unfortunately when I saw him live, he gave away all his booze to the audience! 😩
