I know LOTS of artists who were big time lushes like Jim Morrison and Judy Garland.... But I have NEVER heard anybody say that an artist's BEST work happened while they were drunk.

I know that you didn't list authors, but I'll add Edgar Allen Poe.

My vote is "all of them". an artist who has not explored life enought to realize sheets to the wind is the best way to fly is not a true artist. FURTHERMORE (is that 1 or 2 words?) 12 step programs are destroying art for future generations. Think about it- who has chocked on his own vomit or cut off an ear to impress a girl lately? The prissy "Painter of LIGHTS"? I think NOT! I rest my .... (pass the bottle opener please. forget about it, I'll use my teeth) 'burp' ....CASE!

Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald were heavy drinkers. Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes author) used heroin. I don't know if you are interested in writer/substance. Edward Manet and Toulouse Latrec spend a LOT of time in bars and saloons. Caravaggio was no stranger to the tavern and Van Gogh and Gaugain drank and painted and fought and drank and painted and fought .
