Winston Churchill was a DRUNKARD!

I've read enough about them to know that I respect the hell out of all of them!

TRUTH WILL DO THAT!

And just what have you done that even kind of compares to Churchill? Lol. He was a bad motherfucker. I don’t give a fuck how much he drank. Stalin was a drunk. So was Marx. Who gives a shit? Drink your blueberry tea and hot Tang and go conquer the world, hero. You gonna make it through all levels of your video game today?

Russia was an ally to Germany and was on the way to attack Alaska when Germany attacked them.

Give the guy a fucking break.

Doesn't bare thinking what weak today's weak-willed, woke morans would have have done in his shoes.

No shit.

Stalin couldn't fucking believe it.

He holed up for two weeks in fucking denial.

more importantly his best friend was Nathaniel Rothchild what more do you need to know

had a great wit though

lady Astor ... if you were my husband I would poison your coffee......Churchill Madam if you were my wife I would drink it.



lady Astor mr Churchill you are drunk you are very very drunk..... Churchill ... madam you are fat you are very very fat and tomorrow i will be sober

Churchill a Man of The Hour.

That doesn't explain Gallipoli. I'd find it pretty revealing to discover how heavily Churchill drank both before and after that humiliation... and how the very public failure effected his judgement ever after.

That’s true. Stalin just couldn’t believe his ally Hitler attacked him. Up to that point the Nazis and commies were on the same side.

Classic.

I wonder did Churchill ever grace his gullet with a wee slug of French brandy?

I like me some brandy, of an early morning.

I presume you're speaking of the cocktail hour?

Nothing explains Gallipoli.

It was a clusterfuck of incompetence.

Whatever you want.

Well, it won't be a Victoria Bitter.

A wasted possible huge advantage on the German side?

We will never know.

But rigid ideology seems to be prone to backfire on the bearer.

Stay malleable and open ended to win a war?

Heres a fun lil factoid. Winston Churchill is personally responsible for The Blair House (the Presidents Guest House). Guests of the President used to stay in the White House, until Winston Churchill came to visit. He got drunk and hit on FDRs wife Eleanor. After that Eleanor mandated that the President have a guest house, which is now the Blair House!

A drunkard that saved England - unlike that pussy Chamberland who handed countries to Hitler on a platter.

I've never heard that before! PRICELESS! BTW: I just checked and the official Blair House webpage more or less confirms what you said.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, NO!!

The modern Vic Bitter is a fucking travesty, mate.

Nothing like the original.

So nutty and delicious! even in the early nineties it was still nice.

Then they fucked with the formula so many times that it's now just a shadow of the original.
Hangover inducing ratpiss with no nuttiness or crispness or any qualities akin to a reasonable beer whatsoever.

Just another reason I love you Ozzies... you always cut to the chase! LOL!

THE MAN WHO KEPT RUDOLPH HESS QUIET...

So? No different than the huge bulk of Americans on various sleeping and waking meds. Just a different poison.

This!^ They wanted to get into 'negotiations' without ever considering how badly that went for the French.

Nothin wrong with a good stiff Drink

There is when you're the leader of the free world and are so drunk at 7pm or hungover the next day you cannot think straight in a national crisis. Many Presidents have been heavy boozers with most at least waiting until sunset to open that Scotch bottle. Considering their level of authority it didn't make it right, but at least they showed some discipline.

Being a Navy man, FDR would say "the sun's gone down over the yardarm" as a signal for his butler to break out the ice bucket. He reportedly liked a couple before dinner and one during. That is, unless Churchill was in town and it was an open bar all day long as needed.

Truman was another one who habitually enjoyed a couple of highballs every evening; his catchphrase was to "strike a blow for liberty." In fact, Truman famously said he'd never trust a man who didn't take a drink once in awhile.

In contrast, LBJ wouldn't even wait until late in the day and was known to knock back several fingers of Bourbon in the middle of the afternoon if the mood struck him and damn what anyone thought about it... a pattern he started back in his early days in Congress when twisting arms in his endless backroom deals over a few bottles of well-aged hooch. It's also been documented that he could get pretty mean after knocking back a few.

Neither Nixon or LBJ were "happy drunks"; Nixon would get morose and ponder suicide [on the infamous "Nixon tapes" he's clearly drunkenly slurring his words several times], and LBJ would get downright belligerent and call up political enemies -both real and imagined- to harangue them on the phone.

Both JFK and Jackie were strung out on painkillers while in the White House. Jack's were needed for his chronic back pain, Jackie got hers on the sly just because she couldn't cope with FLOTUS pressures -and her husband's equally-chronic fucking around. Dr. Max "Feelgood" Jacobson would regularly visit the Oval office or private residence to needle them both up. Eventually Jack weaned himself off the syringe and back to a few pills a day but flatly ordered Jackie off the junk as soon as he found out about it.

Jacobson was famous for supplying his doped up "vitamin" injections to everyone from Judy Garland to Elvis to Elizabeth Taylor and dozens in-between. In recent years, Kennedy's use has been played down and today it's claimed he only used Jacobson for a short period of time, something White house visitor logs suggest is not true. For kicks, look up Dr. Max Jacobson... it's a hell of a story!

Clinton was another strong imbiber and allegedly still is to his day even though his doctors have long advised against it. Then again, if I was married to Hillary...

It's the politicos who present a squeaky-clean image to the public that are most problematic because they have the most to hide. Jackie Kennedy smoked like a chimney her whole life but was rarely photographed holding a cigarette because it was "unlady-like" and clashed with her classier public image. Betty Ford comes to mind as a notorious lush as does another closet-drinker, Barbara Bush... and her own Georgie-boy was well-known as a heavy boozer when younger before he crashed his car one time too many and Dabby B gave him a come-to-Jesus talk only without the religion. Shortly thereafter, Georgie "found God" and never touched it again.

Or, so he claimed.

The bottom line is this: we really have no idea how many major decisions have been made while our leaders were half-crocked but when you consider that as a possibility, a lot of things suddenly make more sense!

Greta's getting to that age, too, where a good stiff one might do her some good...

A very good movie which shows it is public knowledge that along with drinking all day Churchill also smoked all day! Not hard to see why the Nazis hated him, he stood up to them.
