Meanwhile, a ww2 veteran lived to 112 smoking 8 cigars a day, drinking several glasses of whisky everyday, and subsisting almost entirely on ice cream and canned foods. Life has always been a roll of the dice.

    Chirchill learned how to drink in India (mostly whiskey, diluted with large amounts of soda) and in particular how not to get drunk. He enjoyed depicting himself as a heavy drinker, but it is remarkable on how few occasions anybody else thought him to he drunk. He drank so little all the time that he was never actually drunk.

      He drank at least three bottles of champagne every day on top of everything else. He met every objective definition of alcohol dependency. It's just that some hero worshippers will literally change the definitions to avoid calling Churchill what he obviously was.

    The more functional you are while drinking points to a higher likelihood of being an alcoholic. Tolerance and dependence lead to people being able to drink way more than normal people, while remaining in a somewhat sober state of mind. I subsisted off well over a liter of vodka a day and barely any food for a while. A 0.2 BAC (almost three times the legal limit in the USA) was my baseline, barely any buzz, just functional. Meanwhile a normal person would be absolutely wasted at that point.

      That would be difficult to answer, since alcohol affects people very differently. Some people can drink it in large quantities and some become inebriated after just one drink.

      @flautist02 10 месяцев назад

      @@garethbeare8741 It varies from alcoholic to alcoholic. One alcoholic might binge drink wine all weekend but be dry the whole week, whereas another might drink throughout the day like Churchill. The term "alcoholic" is a pretty loose one and, most alcoholics, find it a personal definition. I simply view an alcoholic as someone who cannot control his drinking quantity, even if he tried to.

    • @dlxmarks
      @dlxmarks Месяц назад

      The current broad medical advice is that the average adult man should consume 4 or fewer alcohol units per day with a unit equaling 10 ml of pure ethanol. I've seen estimates that Churchill was putting away 20 to 25 units daily so 225 ml of ethanol on average. Say he restricted himself to scotch one day then 225 ml of 100% ethanol would be equal to 562 ml of 80 proof (40% abv) Red Label which is over half a liter or most of a standard 750 ml liquor bottle.

    He was definitely an alcoholic. He started drinking the moment he woke up and didn't stop until bedtime. He just had very high alcohol tolerance. But listen to how he slurs his way through those iconic war speeches. He's obviously intoxicated. He was always drunk in public, he was just never rowdy and kept his comportment. He still needed a walking stick to prop himself up, though.

      Both the Johnnie Walker history page and the International Churchill Society site say he drank Red and Black Labels. Churchill immortalized Black Label in his 1920s still life painting _Bottlescape_ of his cocktail table but I've read that Red Label was a higher quality product then than it is now. The postwar boom in scotch popularity encouraged Johnnie Walker to go cheaper on the blend.

      He was christened Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill with his middle name coming from his maternal grandfather Leonard Jerome. Later his father Lord Randolph dropped the hyphenated Spencer to differentiate his family branch from that of his older brother, the Duke of Marlborough. Lord Randolph and Winston went by the surname Churchill but kept the Spencer as a middle name although at some point Winston's younger brother Jack reverted to Spencer-Churchill for himself and his descendants.
