Are celebrities more prone to substance abuse problems?

  I don't have any idea, and any guess I'd make would be... lacking. I will say one thing however, which is that they would certainly have unlimited access to substances to abuse. I'm not sure what the life expectancy of an opiate addict who could afford a lifetime's supply really is. It may be that we're starting to find out, but then, maybe not.

    I'm thinking more in terms of a lifetime of treating your body like shit, to include all substances (not just opiates).

      I bet the genetic component starts to dominate over long time periods, mediated by access to top quality medical care. That in turn is probably further mediated by the fact that (see Michael Jackson) buying a doctor is not always in your best interest.
