Could be any kind of performer be it comedian, podcaster, actor, etc.
Big bird, probably…
He got sober in the 90s, but Elton John was notorious for using shit-tons of cocaine back in the day and was an alcoholic as well.
The “Musician” category is cheating
Till Schweiger. Got i hate him. He always plays his drunk arrogant egoistic asshole self
The Kills used to put on some of the sloppiest and rowdiest drunk concerts, they were dope. They’ve since gotten sober, and while the music is better, I miss the messy shows.
Last day of magic oozes drunk I love you but fuck you
Didn’t know about that but checks out with those early albums that’s for sure.
Why is that something enjoyable as a show? Sounds awful to me.
It was still solid musically, just had more edge and agony to it. Matched the tone of the music. Now the show is just so sterile and spot on. I guess as a degenerate, it was nice to see them rage a bit

Real Americans maintain a constant BAC of 0.1776! He’s a PatriotTM damnit!
After twelve drinks the Probably War Crime and Definitely War Crime buttons look basically the same, and there’s a fucking lot of them
You win let’s close this up.
“entertainer”
he’s a clown, that counts i guess
He’s ordered a fully equipped makeup studio installed in the Pentagon. If a dressing room is not the sign of an entertainer, what is?
I mean, I’m not really disagreeing because US politics is like wrestling drama lol
“Secretary of WAR!” - screams Pete drunkenly, probably
This was my first thought as well
The Replacements have a history of playing shows completely wasted. There’s particular Saturday night live episode where they ended up getting banned from playing on ever again.
My high school music teacher went to a Dragonforce concert circa 2008. He said they were completely wasted, didn’t sound anything like the album, and barely knew where they were. Just an absolute waste of time. He got an autograph from one of them (must’ve paid for a VIP ticket or something) and they wrote “wish I didn’t have to meet you, asshole.”
He liked them a lot less after that
Guns and Roses pulled that shit on me on '91. Couldn’t even tell what song Axle was on he was so fucking wasted. And the acoustics were awful.
We were tripping acid and got turned around on the road trip to OKC, missed some opening band called Smashing Pumpkins.
Buddy of mine went to see Joe Cocker and dude passed out at the mic before singing anything. They refunded everyone.
Weirdly, killed by lung cancer instead…
I wonder what would everyone do if instead he sang out of tune?
I don’t know, man, I think I might just stand up and walk out on him
oh baby now!
The singer of Smash Mouth seemed to really hate that people only cared about All Star. His latest shows were) had some drunk rants. He’s dead now
You mean the guy who drank himself to death after performing at Sturgis during COVID?
Chris Jericho? Oh the “to death” part hasn’t materialized yet, just the 80lbs of booze weight.
somebody
edit: don’t know what’s more pathetic. my attempt to start the meme or the fact that !SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works holds a grudge for some dumbass reason.

I didn’t read the book and didn’t know what that name meant, so I’m amused to find out that’s a characters name and not just an out of place reference to some Slutty Barf Fest party in the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Universe universe
Ron White i believe
Ron White is sober now. Also retired from comedy, I believe. Probably true in his heyday.
He was in South America and tripped on ayahuasca, never drank again I believe.
Alestorm. They play pirate drinking metal, so it’s pretty on brand
I’m pretty sure they are not drunk during shows. IIRC they got rid of one guy who couldn’t hold his drink.
I’ve seen them live a few times, and the singer at least was hammered every time. This was 10+ years ago though, so they might have calmed down a bit since then
I see them every year and have talked with them 5+ times, while they are totally hammered at meet and greets and get drunk with fans after the show they seem sober enough before starting to drink.
As a kid I didn’t get the drunk Dean Martin jokes on Bugs Bunny. Watching him on old roast videos, yeah, he was fucking hammered 24/7.
Go check some Don Rickels roasts! The man was fucking brutal, thought Sinatra was going to cap his ass on the spot when Don joked about Frank’s mob ties. Kissing Sammy Davis Jr., “Did I get any black on me?”
Dean Martin was faking it. He barely drank, and was not a partier. It was all an act.
No way! And all these years later I learn this.
I remember an interview, where he broke kayfabe and hinted to the interviewer something to the effect of “do you think I could be as successful as I am if I drank that heavily?”
Rickles had ZERO chill. fuckin hilarious though.
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.
Ron White. The only funny one in blue collar comedy
I don’t know. I may not have liked all of the stuff he did, but the larry the cable guy bit had some good ones, and foxworthy’s bit about drug side effects was well done.
Larry and Foxworthy had a couple good bits but that was about it for me. I found White at least was consistently funny.
Love his skits
They call me… Tater Salad
Still alive and on the wagon.
The whisky keeps him preserved
I’m an 80’s boy, and a documentary was made about my rock stars and their drinking habits (among other things).
The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years
As an extra aside, I can’t imagine that Lemmy spent any day sober since leaving Hawkwind until the day he died. When he was told he was sick and needed to stop drinking, he gave up whiskey and started drinking a case or more of wine every day. God, I miss Lemmy. 😁

Doug Stanhope
came here for this
“shut up I’m pouring funny down my throat”
Thing is, he might be a mostly-functional alcoholic, but he pulls it off. Is he drunk during his routine? Maybe, probably. But goddamn, is he on point the whole show. I’ve had the chance to see him a few times, and would absolutely do it again if he ever came anywhere within a four hour drive of me.
Will always remember him talking about it with phony aa boy jim Norton. On jim quitting drinking at 18 Doug said “oh so you didn’t even flesh it out”
Never seen any of his routines ever be messy. Absolute functional.
