"What she does is only effecting her, nobody else – its not like she’s married with kids to be responsible for."

So if she overdoses and dies, it won't affect her family, friends and fans who love her? It won't affect the fact that she will never make music again, and therefore we will never know her potential? I'm sorry, but her doing drugs DOES affect people other than her, she doesn't need to be married with children in order for her drug use to be a major issue.

I'm pretty sure Amy Winehouse started doing drugs very casually. Nobody starts out inhaling massive amounts of coke. Addictions start out as something small, then they grow into problems. Problems that can lead to an early demise. Like I said, it's one thing to experiment and leave it at that, it's another to do it as a habit (it doesn't matter if she said she only does it "occasionally" or a "couple times a year", it is STILL A HABIT). It got serious enough for her family to intervene before, it WILL get serious again if she doesn't stop it. Look no further than Jim Morrisson, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. I'm pretty sure back in the day you would have defended their drug use too, and look what happened to them.

I don't think most people condemning her drug use are doing so because they feel good about judging her. They do so because they know what consequences drugs lead to, and if she doesn't cut it out altogether, it's likely that she will end up like the rock stars I just mentioned, which of course no one wants that. Most people abhor drugs in general, their condemning it doesn't mean that they're hypocrites who are doing drugs on the side. That's the weakest argument I've heard. I condemn murder, does that mean that I'm most likely a hypocrite and I secretly kill people on the side?
