Downey JR Quit Drugs with Burgers
Robert Downey Jr says that fast food chain Burger King helped him beat drugs.
The Iron Man star, who was arrested in 1996 on drug and weapons charges, spent nearly a year in prison in 1999 and was arrested again in 200 for a hotel drug sting operation, has publicly thanked the eatery for maknig him realise he needed to kick his habit.
Recalling an incident in 2003 when he was driving with "tons of f...ing dope" in his car, Downey Jr says he stopped as a Burger King to get a burger, but the food had such a bad effect on him he thought he had an overdose.
The actor told Empire magazine he then threw all his drugs into the sea and decided to turn his life around. He admitted his Iron Man character Tony Stark's request for a cheeseburger after being released from his terrorist captors is a reference to his own experience.

Hey great for getting off the drugs, but did you ever think that the bad reaction may have been simply because of the food?
Remember kids, if you want to kick the habit, have a burger or two...
Priceless.
