According to Spin, “In this job, it’s really easy to become an accidental alcoholic,” Holiday commented backstage during Louder Than Life 2023. “A drink before the show, a couple drinks after the show. … Just day after day after day. You’re not feeling like you’re binge-drinking. But then you end the tour and come home, and you start looking and calculating it, like, ‘I think I drank every single day. I’m pretty sure that is alcoholism. And then if you spice a little bit of drugs into that, you’re just going, ‘This is a lot of damage. There were a lot of hungover days here.’” Holiday has candidly shown what it’s like to be an artist in such a demanding industry.
