This Is Just Astonishing

Robbie Williams, the singer, checked himself into re-hab today . But not for cocaine or booze. No, he kicked those habits a few years back. But I have to think alcohol and cocaine was healthier than this:

"The singer finds it impossible to get to sleep until 4 or 5am due to insomnia and is on sleeping pills. He is hooked on the powerful anti-depressant Seroxat, which has been linked to suicidal tendencies in teenagers. And daily he gets through an incredible 36 super-strength double espresso coffees, 60 Silk Cut cigarettes and around 20 cans of energy drink Red Bull."

Good Lord! 36 espressos and 20 cans of RedBull!!! If I drink more than two Red Bulls I get super jittery. And do you know how many cigarettes that is? That's something along the lines of 3 per hour if you never, ever sleep. I totally understand the insomnia and have a great deal of sympathy for people who get hooked on sleeping pills. That's one addiction I find really easy to understand.

But the others baffle me. You would pretty much have to have an espresso in one hand and a Red Bull in other, and the only time you set either of them down is to take a drag off of your cigarette. And then you have to do it non-stop 24/7 in order to fit it all in.

How is that even physically possible?
