Eric Clapton: chocolate and cocaine
Comment: I cannot find information on this through traditional sources,
but I was told this. There was an extended period of time (on the order of months) where Eric Clapton consumed nothing but chocolate and cocaine. How this is possible, I never knew, and while I want it to be true (to add to his R&R legend), I am assuming that is not.

I'd probably believe it more if it were heroin and chocolate.

The term 'nothing but' never usually means nothing but.
The breatharians believe they can survive on air, sunlight, ect. alone. One of the recent leaders claimed they lived nothing but this, but was often caught nibbling a rich tea biscuit and was once caught eating a 3 course meal.

Theres a story repeated on Bowie fansites and message boards that while he was in the last stages of his cocaine period, making his Station to Station album he lived on nothing but milk, chile peppers and drugs.
Not Clapton but the thought ran through my head when I read the OP

He basically confirms this (and I don't remember if it was cocaine or heroin) in his autobiography. His health suffered, as did his teeth, and George Harrison wrote "Savoy Truffle" about him having so many cavities from the chocolate.

He started off on coke, but his dealer used to offload him baggies of heroin as a freebee with each deal, Clapton used to just shove them in a drawer in his study and not bother touching them.
Later on (I can't remember why, I haven't got his book to hand, I'll dig it out later) he and his then girlfriend were bored one day and just started to take the odd hit of the Heroin that was lying around... cue decades of oblivion. IIRC the coke/chocolate phase did happen, but that was before he encountered Heroin

Lizzy got me his autobiography for Christmas ... I guess I'd better finish reading it!

Well, the chocolate part is right at least... his chocolate obsession inspired the Beatles' "Savoy Truffle."
