A verdict of misadventure has been recorded at the inquest into the death of Amy Winehouse.
The singer was more than five times the legal drink-drive limit for alcohol when she died, the hearing was told.
The 27-year-old had not had a drink in July before hitting the bottle on Friday July 22.
She was found in bed in her Camden home in north London the next day.

The inquest heard her security guard looked in on her at 10am the day she died but left her for five hours before calling the emergency services.
The live-in guard, Andrew Morris, said he thought she was asleep when he initially checked on her but at 3pm he checked again and she had not moved.
Today the inquest heard she had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood.
The driving limit is 80mg.

An initial post-mortem examination proved inconclusive and no cause of death was given when the inquest was opened and adjourned in August.
But because of Winehouse's very public battles with drink and drugs, news of her death was quickly followed by suggestions it could be related to one or the other.
A family statement at the time said: 'Toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy's system at the time of her death
'Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.
'The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October.'
Information relating to today's inquest was sent to the wrong address, police admitted yesterday.
It was later handed into a police station in north London.
At Winehouse's funeral on July 26, her father, Mitch, told mourners his daughter had been the happiest she had been in a long time in the weeks before her death.
He said Winehouse had 'conquered' her drug addiction and was 'trying hard to deal with her drinking'.

There's a surprise!

[kellyhound]

guess drinking addiction is harder to deal with than a drug addiction.

Alcohol is a lot easier to get and as long as you aren't driving or causing a scene, not illegal.

It's to be expected when she goes and marries a piece of shit like that Blake cunt, I didn't much care for her either, don't get me wrong I didn't wish her harm but in the same way "Sid and Nancy" went into self destruct mode it was obvious what was going to be the outcome, pissing talent away like that irks me.

oh well

'twas a sad day. It was expected though and I think she was in a far bigger battle with it than people knew. And I agree with Steve, talent like that is just really annoying to be thrown away so easily.

Generally, unless you're one of the hardcore types... drugs don't kill. It's the mix and in excess. Liquor seals the deal. Drugs have done good things for ........... ah, nevermind.
