      He could fake it, but it was also a real addiction for Dean Martin, as anyone who knew him would say, truthfully. After his son was killed in a plane crash, Dean Martin stopped trying to rein in his habit, and many thought he drank so much that he died of a broken heart, with drinking as his deadly crutch...

      Perhaps he wasn't a raving alcoholic, but he (like all other celluloid stars) aggrandized alcoholism - alternatively lauding it, and portraying it as cute. The USA is almost as sloshed as the former East Bloc and Russia - when it comes to millions of sloppy drunks. There's nothing cute about being a drunkard. Zero.

      What about the english actor Oliver Reed ?
      I heard he would drink all day and even have drinking contest on the weekends.
      Peter O'Toole drank so much he had a lot of stomach problems.
      William Holden was a well known notorious alcoholic who later died in a drunken fall.
      Montgomery Clift drank a lot but I don't know if he was more a alcoholic or a pill addict.
      Jack Cassidy ( Father to singer David ) not only drank excessively he also died in a house fire after passing out with a cigarette in his hand.
      David Cassidy ( son of Jack) seemed to have become an alcoholic later in life and died from liver failure.
      Paul Lynde was most likely an alcoholic and he avoided a major scandal in the mid 1960's when his boyfriend fell out of a hotel window and died.
      W.C.Fields drank so much that his nose was enlarged and it had a reddish color that didn't go away.
      Rock Hudson was a well known alcoholic and even crashed his car into a tree during the mid 1970's and he walked away to avoid prosecution.
      What about Ava Gardner who was married to Frank Sinatra at one time.
      The two of them would go on huge alcohol binges and one time they shot out some window's in Indio, CA.
      Ava's health from drinking to much was one of several reasons why she died later in life.
      Judy Garland was an alcoholic but like Montgomery Clift she most likely took more pills than alcohol. Marilyn Monroe was a alcoholic and was even thrown out of the Cal Neva Lodge once which was partly owned by Frank Sinatra.
      Tallulah Bankhead last words supposedly were "Bourbon"
      She would hold parties for days at her home and even encouraged her guests to bring their own clothes so they could stay longer.
      Veronica Lake died in her late 40's due to alcoholism and her looks were clearly ravished.
      Frances Farmer was arrested for several DUI'S ( I don't know if that was the correct term used in the 1940's).
      Barbara Bates drank so much that when she was found dead one day she was unrecognizable from the pretty former actress.
      I'm sure there are other movie stars who had alcohol problems and thankfully there's much more rehabilitation centers and knowledge of alcoholism.
      I'm not putting down the actors/actresses for their unfortunate addiction's but highlighting that they are human just like the rest of us.

    Graham Chapman of Monty Python was also well-known, at least to the other Pythons, as being a drunk. He spent pretty much the whole filming of "Holy Grail" totally plastered. He vowed to himself that if they did another film and he had the lead, he'd get clean -- and he did. When he was chosen as the lead for "The Life of Brian", he got clean & healthy (you can see the difference between the two roles of King Arthur and Brian Cohen). Sadly, like Leonard Nimoy, his smoking (pipes) helped him shuffle off this mortal coil, kinda like a Norwegian Blue parrot.

    My Uncle Don, whom I loved, was what I'd call a "congenial drunk". As a kid, I'd no idea he was drunk all the time while at his home. During the day, he was sober; he saved his drinking for evenings and weekends on his houseboat. Knowing now the truth of it, it's my educated and very informed opinion that Dean Martin was a drinker just like my uncle. They were both about the same age. Uncle Don's favorite kind of music was the type Dean Martin made. They existed in a time when drinking was a casual affair, just like smoking. My uncle was never mean, and was good to us kids. All the adults smoked and drank. It's just the way it was.

The one thing you didn't do with Oillie was to go to the pub with him at lunchtime. I remember shooting in a club on a Sunday morning, we were taking the camera gear inside. A production car pulled up and Ollie got out, he seemed a bit unsteady on his feet, and as he walked past us he pulled out of his overcoat pocket a glass of scotch! A couple of hours later he turned up set right as rain. He was a lovely man and a film legend.

    I am surprised that along with Leonard Nimoy, that William Shatner didn't make this list. I saw him onetime on a television fundraiser and he was extremely inebriated.

    I guess poor old Jan Michael Vincent isn’t really in these star’s league but his alcohol addiction was more personally catastrophic in every part of his life than any of these guys I think. Michael Landon might be closest but I think Vincent wins for most messy and awful and powerfully destructive alcohol addiction.

    Not sure why Dean Martin is on this list since the video states his family and friends said his drinking was an act and the narrator even says he only had a drink in the evening with his wife. How's that "drunk all the time?". Also, why can't you say LSD in this video?
