Given time, most of us could name dozens of famous politicians, actors, actresses, businessmen, who have been famous for their abuse of alcohol.
But we could also name dozens of ordinary, unknown and secretive people who through their abuse of alcohol have wrecked not o ly their own lives, but those of a circle of people around them, especially their families.
Alcoholics leave a hidden trail of destruction.
Have a look at the ACOA website, for those of you who are adult children of alcoholics. Useful site!  |

No one is trying to diminish the hurt and pain that any kind of addiction causes.
Sorry if you have been affected by this. |

I thought it was a useful counterpoint to the main "name some alcoholics" list, highlighting that alcoholism is actually not particularly impressive.

Or maybe he was bringing awareness about these "successful" people who despite their wealth and fame, still fell to the same vices as regular people.
See, I can do conjecture too  |

Andre The Giant reputedly could drink anyone under the table- he admitted to David Letterman to drinking 119 beers in a session. A fellow wrestler subsequently corrected the amount to 156 |

Winston Churchill
Ernest Hemingway
Vincent Van Gogh
Elizabeth Taylor
My next door neighbour who sometimes arrives home late at night, tries to kick in his front door, and when his wife vociferously refuses to let him in, rants on for about twenty minutes and then falls down into a heap, where he sometimes lies all night.
The glamorous face of alcoholism, that is unsurprisingly absent from the glamorous TV adverts. |

Food. Some binge and throw up. Some avoid regular meals. Booze -some make merry. A few don’t know where to stop.
Please moralisers stop jumping on anything warning us of this and that. So fucking boring.
Some of us cheat on our wifes. This ain’t the sited for fucking warnings. Love and peace x
Cunts. |
