Yeah, the video equated binge drinker with alcoholic. That Churchill could put down so much alcohol without being inebriated is itself a sign of a problem.
Gotta love when drinking from the bottle is a moral failure, alarming everyone to a problem drinker but if you chill it and drink it straight from a martini glass you are now classy 🎩
Winston Churchill Smoked cigars all day everyday and drank countless amounts of alcohol all while leading his country to one of the biggest victories in world history. He was the only man for that job and he did it like a badass!!! If only we could all be as badass as Winston Churchill.
@@adamkhan3421 genetics are a hell of thing, you could never touch a cigarette in your life and die from lung cancer at 30. 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.
You are right, he did drink a lot of champagne! Being Spirits lovers, we did want to focus on the Spirits, but Churchill certainly didn't discriminate against other alcoholic beverages! :)
Exchange between Bessie Braddock ( Labour MP) and Churchill. "Winston, you are drunk".... "Bessie my dear, you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly."

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.
@@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.
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.
The most important person of the 20th century, Winston Churchill (because he kept England in WWII until the US & US production entered WWII to overwhelm the Nazis) & good booze. You can't get any better. Richard :)
We agree! A true maverick who knew how to drink like a champion, while saving Europe. There might be no post-war Europe as we know it, without a good glass of booze.
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.
John, we currently don't ship to Illinois, but we are constantly expanding our distribution and partner network. Please check back in a couple of weeks - we hope to have good news for you!
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.
We find it impressive he was able to lead the country in such trying times while drinking as much as he did. Then again, it probably helped him do just that.
I wouldn’t order anything from this company, Flaviar, as they were unable to fulfill an order that I placed months ago. Their responses were full of falsehoods and empty promises.

It depends from person to person.. The most important thing is to find out what you enjoy and stick to it and explore more. We have plenty of non-alcoholic brands you can go with, if booze is not your cup of tea. Make sure to check out www.veraspirits.com
The definition of functional. I genuinely believe he was always hammered, but was able to contain himself and remain functional.
Roosevelt said he was hammered all the time. A great man. 👍😊
@@Kiogleo46 I said he was a gent, not great.
Yeah, the video equated binge drinker with alcoholic. That Churchill could put down so much alcohol without being inebriated is itself a sign of a problem.
Yeah, he was no alcoholic, he was just drinking all day long everyday.
Over here in 'normal people' country, We call that a functioning alcoholic.
I think the narrative is pretty exaggerated.
In a measured way. 👍😊
Gotta love when drinking from the bottle is a moral failure, alarming everyone to a problem drinker but if you chill it and drink it straight from a martini glass you are now classy 🎩
No alcoholic? The man was just a heavyweight like no other
Winston Churchill Smoked cigars all day everyday and drank countless amounts of alcohol all while leading his country to one of the biggest victories in world history. He was the only man for that job and he did it like a badass!!! If only we could all be as badass as Winston Churchill.
And he died at age 90 that's old for a drinker and a smoker
You're a sagacious guy. I like your attitude 👍😊
Ubermensch to the highest degree.....who agrees with me....

You forgot to mention the champagne.

Thank you for the response! I understand.
He also enjoyed claret on occasion and often had a glass of dry Amontillado before dinner ruclips.net/video/Q0u0KKAbIoo/видео.html
Also some port --- not being wasted doesn't mean he wasn't addicted to alcohol...maintaining constant daily levels of it could describe addiction?
also, amphetamines and barbiturates...
Exchange between Bessie Braddock ( Labour MP) and Churchill. "Winston, you are drunk".... "Bessie my dear, you are ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly."
Churchill was no Adonis.
You can definitely win wars while hammered.
Most wars are fought by people while hammered
He was a living exemple of the maxim alcohol is a good servant but a bad master.
Something in that direction.
Drink wisely 🥃
What an irony... he drank Armenian brandy and his life was saved by an Armenian
*coincidence. Irony is when the situation is opposed to the stated facts, not when they match.
the power of booze, it saves lives obviously.
Wait what !? Not alcoholic!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 been alcoholic doesn’t mean been wasted, mean you have a compulsive behavior with booze exactly like him.
Yeah, the video equated binge drinker with alcoholic. That Churchill could put down so much alcohol without being inebriated is itself a sign of a problem.
Armenian Cognac is a Best
He liked a drink so what? He could handle it, he stayed topped up and helped us win the war. What a gent. 👍😊🙏
And he lived longerr than my grandad by almost 20 years shocking lol

You forgot the champagne...his favourite drink. I believe he got through three bottles a day. Hell of a drinker.
how did he not die
@@aristocrat.co327 he did die but at the age of 90 :D
You don't end up winning a war if you're hammered... maybe just a little buzzed to take the edge off.
He didn't "win" a war! He sat in his boardroom killing other people, including his own soldiers
Micro dosing is easy.
Churchill scotch was just flavoured water.
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.
All those micro doses added up to a macro dose of close to a bottle of whisky a day.

hmmm gonna pour some Scotch and watch Darkest Hour
Oldman is a drunk (in recovery) too.......good choice
As a Pole, I'm curious how those cognacs tasted.
How much did Winston*watch me Im drunk* Churchill really drink. Honestly the scholars could debate this one forever.
Looks like we'll never know for sure! How much do you think he drank?
@@Flaviar This is a reasonable question. The best answer I have is another question. How much do you think real alcoholics drink.
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.

What sort of soda would Churchill drink with Jonny Walker?
Sparkling water (Soda water)
“Scotch and soda”
Snatch and coca

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.

After years of drinking and being a hefty guy, Alcohol shouldn't have much of an effect
I will drink to that, Bob

Ahaha never drunk :D like Depardieu, just 12 bottles of champagne per day.. it means never sober for both ;)
Living the good life 🥃
Actually Wintson didn’t drink RED LABEL johnny walker.His favourite was the BLACK LABEL johnny walker

I think he had the super liver gene like Ozzy. His liver could operate at a capacity far greater than the avg dude
Ubermensch to the first degree........who agrees here?
I admire him as a brilliant politician and writer. His massive and expensive chemical dependencies? Not so much.
It is telling me your program is not available in Illinois. What is the deal? I have been trying to sign on for a while now.

Winston Spencer Churchill... you got the name wrong man.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
He was christened Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill with his middle name coming from his maternal grandfather Leonard Jerome.

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.
He was no alcoholic 😂😂😂😂😂
What a dangerous message.
A dangerous message from a dangerous man.
He drank enough
We find it impressive he was able to lead the country in such trying times while drinking as much as he did. Then again, it probably helped him do just that.
I wouldn’t order anything from this company, Flaviar, as they were unable to fulfill an order that I placed months ago. Their responses were full of falsehoods and empty promises.
But yet he saved Britain’s ass.

Why didn’t he get re-elected then?
This specific subject matter is becoming evidently popular on youtube with a cheering promotion narrative hinting industry backing to accept POISON.
Who cares. He saved your butt.
This is terrible work about a great man
Sorry to hear you didn't like it, mind letting us know what you didn't like about it?
A great man in england, a horrible man in india, both are true

I consider Churchill to be a poor statesman, but he was quite charismatic.
He was far from economically challenged
He was alcoholic
