Answer by Nick Bottom
I’m not trying to be rude, but Bon Scott abused drugs and alcohol for the same reasons everyone else does, because they are addictive. Drugs and alcohol are substances that start out making you feel good and then you become dependent on them.

I found a couple of articles that might be helpful. He dropped out of school at 15, had some trouble with the law, and was incarcerated in a juvenile center at 16.

Also the group he was in before AC/DC called The Valentines had issues with drugs and in 1970, after gaining a place on the National Top 30 with their single “Juliette”, the Valentines disbanded due to artistic differences after a much-publicised drug scandal.

He suffered from a serious motorcycle accident and may have been self-medicating for that….
“About 11 pm on 3 May 1974, at the Old Lion Hotel in North Adelaide, during a rehearsal with the Mount Lofty Rangers, a very drunk, distressed and belligerent Bon Scott had a raging argument with a member of the band. Bon stormed out of the venue, threw a bottle of Jack Daniels on to the ground, then screamed off on his Suzuki 550 motorbike.” Scott suffered serious injuries from the ensuing motorcycle accident, spending 3 days in a coma and a further 18 days in hospital.
