Default Installing Drywall on Ceiling

Hello,

I'm installing some 4' x 8' drywall on a ceiling. Is that stuff ever
heavy. I'm wondering if the screws I have will be enough to hold it.
Should I use some sort of adhesive? What type of screws should I
use? Any other advice on how to ensure that this doesn't come
crashing down one day?

Thanks
Sam



Don't need adhesive, just drywall screws. Use a little more than what
you would on the wall. Often, walls go up after the ceiling and that
provides perimeter support.
