Kate Moss Partied So Hard In The 90s She Was Nicknamed The Tank
Kate Moss reportedly partied so hard in the 90s that she was nicknamed 'The Tank', a new book claims.
The supermodel has been in the headlines recently due to testifying in Johnny Depp's defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
According to a 2014 book by Maureen Callahan, titled Champagne Supernovas: Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, and the 90s Renegades Who Remade Fashion, the supermodel would allegedly use up to three grams of cocaine on a night out, while drinking up a whole bottle of vodka.
Callahan said that the model's alleged drug abuse occurred around the time after she broke up with Depp, according to The Mirror.

Depp and Moss were in a relationship back in the day, which lasted from 1994 to 1997.
The author wrote: "In one sitting she could snort three grams of coke and drink a bottle of vodka.
"She put stuff away so hard and fast her nickname was The Tank."
The writer also quotes a friend as saying: "She can drink anyone under the table.
"She’ll go out on a Thursday and come back on a Sunday. Anyone who tries to quit or dial back is a traitor.
"She liked to snort cocaine using rolled up hundred-dollar bills. It was pre-9/11, supermodels flying first class.
"They didn’t go through security like everyone else."
In 1998, Moss spent a period in rehab in London's Priory clinic due to 'exhaustion'.
Noel Gallagher's £8 million Primrose Hill party pad was infamous for unofficially hosting some of the craziest parties of the 90s and was often visited by the likes of Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Sadie Frost, Johnny Depp and Ronnie Wood.
A Telegraph journalist once described seeing 'supermodels lolling against the fridge, white lines everywhere, and endless gabbing about crop circles and conspiracy theories'.
Noel also admitted to the Independent: "By 1997 it had just gone berserk. I was doing loads of drugs and me and Liam were just out of control."
Speaking of Moss, Noel said he used to tease fangirls who turned up wanting the supermodel's autograph.
"Kate Moss’d be staying here for a couple of weeks and I’ve got loads of shopping, so I’m trying to open the gate and there was these four girls, they’ve got these books and they’re going, ‘Can you get me Kate’s autograph?’" he told radio host Sean Rowley.
“You’re coming round ‘ere, to my ‘ouse, asking for supermodel’ autographs? You taking the p***, or what? Do you not want mine? Well, I’ll tell you what, you’re not going until you have mine. You’re having my autograph now!
"I ended up walking up the street going ‘C’mere! No, c’mere! Gimme the book! Gimme the book! ‘No, I don’t want your autograph.’ ‘Gimme me the book!'"
