Alcohol On Set
Unfortunately, much of the Little House on the Prairie cast battled addiction with alcohol and drugs. Unsurprisingly, there was often a lot of alcohol on the set. Everyday the crew finished off two cases of Coors beer. On harder days, they called them “three-case days” to justify drinking more on the set. Actor Michael Landon especially took to drinking, and in Melissa Gilbert’s autobiography, she admitted she didn’t realize how much he was consuming. Apparently, he spiked soft drinks and coffee with vodka, thus, no one really knew how much he was drinking both on-set and off.
