Cat, you know that I love you, but is that a fact or a hunch?

Literalist that I am as a Bavarian-heritage American, I've been limiting my replies to booze hounds. If we broaden the parameters to include substance abusers, then, hell, my answer would be, " Everyone in Hollywood, starting with River Phoenix." Bogie lived in an era when hooch was a part of life. To me, "drunk" means "alcoholic," and does not mean"someone who drinks." I am not disputing your statement. I am asking, please, for clarification. Thank you.

Experts on substance abuse agree that there's often a very fine line between a " heavy drinker " and an alcoholic. Both qualify as " drunks. "

I would have put this, as he's one of my favorites, but everyone says he was a closet drunk, and no one would notice. Also, many say he'd go days with no sleep, and if he was every caught looking sloshed, they probably assumed insomnia...
