Editing Jimi Hendrix (section)

===Alcohol===
In July 1962, Hendrix entered a small club in Clarksville, Tennessee, drawn in by live music. He stopped for a drink and ended up spending most of the $400 ({{Inflation|US|400|1962|fmt=eq}}) that he had saved during his time in the Army. "I went in this jazz joint and had a drink," he explained. "I liked it and I stayed. People tell me I get foolish, good-natured sometimes. Anyway, I guess I felt real benevolent that day. I must have been handing out bills to anyone that asked me. I came out of that place with sixteen dollars left."{{sfn|Roby|Schreiber|2010|pp=27–28}} Alcohol eventually became "the scourge of his existence, driving him to fits of pique, even rare bursts of atypical, physical violence".{{sfn|Roby|Schreiber|2010|p=28}}
