I stumbled across.
All about the history and glory of hard drinking.
If half of what is in the bios of great drunks is true, some people truly were great drinkers.

Watching a few episodes of Intervention, or better yet, living with an alcoholic will cure any romantic notions about drinking.
Many is the night when I thought that was HERE! ;)
No kidding. Not fun. Sad watching someone destroy themself.
Yep, watching someone you love die from liver damage ain’t no picnic.
From what I have read the stories about Oliver Reed are absolutely true. He and Richard Harris were not only men of great appetite and terrific actors, they were fantasic story tellers!
My mother suffered greatly from alcoholism and she didn’t drink.
She deserved better.
I’ve seen a person I cared about do sh!t that most folks wouldn’t believe anyone would allow to happen to themselves.
My Mom was a teetotaler. But she managed to keep herself just as sheltered with lots of mothers little helpers.

An alcoholic is one of the most difficult people to deal with. They are demons when drinking.
Only in the glamorized world of celebrities can drunkenness be fondly embraced as if it were a harmless indulgence.In the real world drunkards end up like an old friend of mine who died at 54 years of age because he lived his life as an alcoholic. When he was drunk, which was often, he was abusive to his wife and ignored his children, one of whom died at the ripe old age of 20 due to a drug overdose. Alcoholism destroys lives, not only of the drunkards but of those who surround them. It is a horrible thing to celebrate.
Thanks for restoring my interest in the internet.
his liver should have been buried separately, with honors...
Try being one — talk about having your illusions completely broken...
specially on election night live threads!
ANCHORAGE, Alaska—A man who was slurring his speech and appeared intoxicated was found dead on New Year's Day at a controversial center in Anchorage where chronic street alcoholics are allowed to keep drinking.
The center has been under fire for its unconventional approach to dealing with alcoholism in Anchorage, where advocates have been looking for new ways to help homeless alcoholics after more than 20 people -- most of them severely intoxicated -- died outdoors over a 12-month period in 2009 and 2010.
