I am always reminded of the probably apocryphal story that someone told Lincoln
that "Grant drinks". Lincoln supposedly replied "Find out what brand and send
a barrel to my other generals." What is important is what Churchill
accomplished. In this politically correct era, i am surprised no one has taken
aim at his cigar habit.

Winston Churchill, a flawed outsider with imperfect judgement but the right man
for 1939. But Churchill was an authentic genius who wrote a masterpiece of the
English language while drunk and went to war hung over. He was a gigantic
character. Boris Johnson is merely a big one, and a showman. …
Haven’t we had enough of the old myth of WSC as a drunk?
