Euston Arch to be rebuilt as nightclub
Churchill spent much of WW2 in an alcoholic haze, and so he was indeed
"leading". Wilson had to have his fix to get through PMQs, and so he too was
leading. Thatcher's increasing use of the bottle, especially during the
difficult times domestically or when locked in negotiations with other
European and World leaders, has been aired many times. It was during the
period that she, too, was leading.
You're rather missing the point. In the cases you cite above, alcohol positively
helped those people to function effectively. In the case of Peter Cook his
increasing
liking for the booze prevented him from ever again doing any useful work. Spot the
difference ?
Remembering that Adolf Hitler was t-total.
