Amen!
Best all round drunk acting is Foster Brooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSOeFfKhx7o
Bad Santa
Nah! “My Favorite Year”
“I’m not an Actor! I’m a Movie Star!!!”
Any film involving Cassavetes, they probably weren’t acting...
“Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf”. Taylor and Burton weren’t acting!
"So is this madam, but occasionally I must run a little water through it."
or so I recall the passage.
Otherwise of course he was magnificent and as a combat Marine truly special. Here are his medals.

Isn’t Lee the only one o ever win an oscar for a comedy???
It’s a shame that no one here has mentioned Mr. Leahy from Trailer Park Boys. The great John Dunsworth. Check it out on Netflix. One of the most subversive tv shows ever made that would never have been made in the US. “I am the liquor Randy.”

And he was a tea-totaler.
He played a drunk driver on Adam-12 at least once also. Saw him in an episode just the other night.
Robert Mitchum in El Dorado with played a drunken sheriff very well.
Peter O’Toole was something else. Most actors portraying drunks are too over the top. O’Toole plays a drunk not as a drunk, but as a drunk man. A human who is drunk. Most drunks (on screen) are pathetic. He was sympathetic. When he drives up to see his abandoned daughter, and is too afraid to talk to her...he just nailed it. My guess is that he and booze were no strangers.
The scene at the beginning with Captain Willard alone in his hotel room was completely unscripted. Martin Sheen told the shooting crew to just let the cameras roll. Sheen was actually drunk in the scene and punched the mirror which was real glass, cutting his thumb. Sheen also began sobbing and tried to attack Francis Ford Coppola.
“ My favorites are the drunk scenes in “The Best Years of Our Lives”
I watch that movie every year at Christmas.
