How ya gonna know who's who and what's what?

If I don't tell ya, nobody will.

Winston Churchill
It’s safe to say, Britain’s most celebrated prime minister certainly knew how to celebrate. While supervising the day-to-day affairs of a society and military that spanned the entire world, Churchill was never more than four metres away from his favourite bottle of whiskey. Whilst penning his famous speeches. And winning wars. And NEVER once whining of a hangover. In short, Churchill was probably the most functional lush that ever lived.
...
Vincent Van Gogh
Now, Van Gogh wasn’t your standard binge drinker. Let’s just say, he wasn’t downing pints at pres to save money on the night out. Nope, the legendary Dutch painter’s drink of choice was absinthe, the powerful liquor nicknamed ‘The Green Fairy’.
In fact, it was Van Gogh who popularised the infamous emerald intoxicant once he became a famous painter. Today, a brand of the stuff even bears his name. Nope, Vincent loved the green stuff. He just couldn’t get enough. He would get so wasted, then create some of the world’s most well-known works of art. And then he cut off his ear.
...
Frank Sinatra
He remains one of America’s most iconic crooners… And sauce guzzlers for that matter. In between making platinum records and generally being the coolest guy in every room, ol’ Blue Eyes was never too far from a tumbler of his fav whiskey. So much so, Sinatra was even buried with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his coat pocket. Talk about commitment to your favorite bevvy.

Ernest Hemingway
The embodiment of the tortured writer, Hemingway was a famously heavy drinker. Once ordered by doctors to curb his habit, he tried to limit himself to just three Scotches before dinner.
Suffice to say, he couldn’t pull it off. Nor could he cut out his breakfast gin or his midday snack of absinthe, vodka and a mojito. His infamous work mantra was ‘Write drunk; edit sober’. But our question is, when did he have time to edit?
...
Stephen King
Stephen King has published over 60 books and almost 200 short stories from the 70s through today. Still, most of the late 70s and 80s went by in a haze of alcoholism for King, who wrote in his memoir On Writing that he “barely remembers writing” his 1981 novel Cujo. Despite this apparent fact, the book won numerous awards and was turned into a movie in 1983.
...
Leonard Nimoy
Leonard Nimoy is best known for his enduring role as Mr. Spock from Star Trek. Unfortunately, the success of the show led him to drink, and what Nimoy called “unwinding” spiraled into a ritual of drinking wine, beer, or other spirits at the end of shooting every day. Eventually, he even started to sneak drinks on the set, disguised as water in a paper cup. Later, he checked himself into rehab, where he got clean.

Elizabeth Taylor
One of the most famous classic Hollywood stars, Elizabeth Taylor spent over three decades of her career addicted to alcohol and painkillers. She became the first celebrity to openly admit herself to rehab at the Betty Ford Center in 1983.
...
...
Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson is a highly successful actor, having appeared in over a hundred films, and is currently the second highest-grossing actor of all time. During most of his early career as a stage actor, he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. His first role upon completing rehab was as a cocaine addict in Jungle Fever, the film that launched his cinematic career.
...
Ulysses S. Grant
As a Union general, Ulysses S. Grant was nearly constantly intoxicated, drinking from a large barrel of whiskey he kept stowed in his tent during the Civil War. Still, he led the North to victory and went on to become the 18th president of the United States.

...
Buzz Aldrin
Buzz Aldrin was the second person to walk on the moon. Upon his return to earth, with seemingly little left to accomplish in life, his life deteriorated. Under the weight of depression and alcoholism, his marriage fell apart, and he withdrew from friends and family. He recounted the experience in his 2009 memoir Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon.
I guess that's where the name came from, huh?
...
And, of course, Homer Simpson
Homer was the original cartoon drunk (well, the first one with his own show). He consumes so much beer that his bartender, Moe, is a regular character and his favorite brew, Duff's, is probably better known to some than his perpetual infantile daughter's name (seriously, people never remember it).
BEST OF HOMER BEER QUOTES
"I've figured out an alternative to giving up my beer. Basically, we become a family of traveling acrobats." When the Simpsons are low on money and have to cut back on things like beer.
"I like my beer cold... my TV loud... and my homosexuals flaming."
"Now son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for Daddies, and kids with fake IDs."
"I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer."
"DOE RE MI BEER
DOUGH... the stuff...that buys me beer...
RAY..... the guy that sells me beer...
ME...... the guy... who drinks the beer,
FAR..... the distance to my beer
SO...... I think I'll have a beer...
LA...... La la la la la la beer
TEA..... no thanks, I'm drinking beer...
"Beer: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." - Homer Simpson

This appears to be a very popular item these days, and these days are pretty fuckin' bizarre, so it's worth re-posting.
People have told me that not only are they buying them for themselves, they're buying them for their kids, their girlfriends and their wives. I think that's a great idea. Better safe than sorry is the best way to be these days..
