{{Quote box|width=25em|align=right|quote="Life was pretty chaotic. I don't really like that kind of intensity, I don't like that sort of activity, so whilst I was able to go along with it, I wasn't really in control, it would be fair to say. Every night was a party, but I don't think I felt much contentment or peace, that's for sure. I'd be fine during the day, I'd be fine for the gig but afterwards it was too easy to go out all night or just keep drinking in your room. I was beginning to realize that every time I drank, I couldn't really be sure of the result. And it always made the next day worse. So I decided to lay off and stop drinking during the final leg of the tour."|source=—Adam Clayton regarding his alcoholism<ref>McCormick (2006), pp. 255–256</ref>}}
Clayton made the news in August 1989 when he was arrested in Dublin for carrying a small amount of [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]]. However, he avoided conviction by making a large donation to charity, and later commented: "it was my own fault. And I'm sure I was out of my head&nbsp;– emotionally apart from anything else. But it is serious because it is illegal."<ref name="adambio" /> Clayton has also had alcohol problems, which came to a head during the [[Zoo TV Tour]]. On 26 November 1993, he was so hung over that he was unable to play that night's show in Sydney, the dress rehearsal for their [[Zoo TV: Live from Sydney|Zoo TV concert film]]. Bass duties had to be fulfilled by Clayton's technician Stuart Morgan. After that incident, he resolved to give up alcohol,<ref name="book2">{{cite book | last = Flanagan | first = Bill | title = U2: At the End of the World | publisher=Delta | location = New York | year = 1996 | isbn = 0-385-31157-5 }}</ref> eventually beginning his sobriety in 1996.<ref>{{cite news|title=Pop: The ground beneath their feet|newspaper=[[The Independent]]|first=Danny|last=Eccleston|date=6 October 2000|page=13}}</ref><ref name=Egan-2011>{{cite news|last=Egan|first=Barry|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/achtung-baby-adam-is-the-proud-father-of-a-little-boy-2498063.html |title=Achtung baby, Adam is the proud father of a little boy|publisher=[[Irish Independent]]|date= 16 January 2011|access-date=29 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428125427/http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/achtung-baby-adam-is-the-proud-father-of-a-little-boy-26614531.html|archive-date=28 April 2017}}</ref> On 26 June 2017, Clayton received the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award at the [[MusiCares]] 13th annual MAP Fund Benefit Concert in recognition of his commitment to helping others with addiction recovery.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7727675/u2s-adam-clayton-to-receive-musicares-addiction-recovery-award|title=U2's Adam Clayton To Receive MusiCares Addiction Recovery Award|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|first=Andy|last=Gensler|date=14 March 2017|access-date=27 June 2017}}</ref>

Clayton remained a bachelor for several decades until his marriage in 2013. During the early 1990s, he dated English supermodel [[Naomi Campbell]]. He also had a long-standing relationship with Suzanne "Susie" Smith, a former assistant to Paul McGuinness; they were engaged in 2006, but the pair broke up in February 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.u2france.com/spip.php?article10122 |title=U2's Adam splits up with fiancee Susie (U2France) |access-date=8 September 2007 |last=Egan |first=Barry |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070519133629/http://www.u2france.com/spip.php?article10122 |archive-date=19 May 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2010, Clayton fathered a son with his then-partner, an unnamed French woman.
