A complete act. Dean always had Apple juice back stage to give the appearance of bourbon. Frank Sinatra was asked this question about his friend Dean Martin during an interview, Frank said “I’ve spilled more booze by accident than Dean has drank over the years”.
Rember Dean Martin say you think abc would hire a drunk?
Yeah but it made it fun
And if that’s the case ALL the time, he’s pretty damn good at acting drunk :)
