Did MES Ever Quit Drugs or Alcohol?
I know that Mark E. Smith was a regular amphetamine user in the 1980s and 1990s, and seems to have been an addict and alcoholic in the period leading up to the 1998 NYC meltdown show. But as far as I know, there was no "detox" period after, he seemed to keep thundering along with the same appetites (for drink at least). Did he quit using speed post-1998? Kurious.
