Was Winston Churchill an alcoholic

Answer 1

This infamous exchange was the incident that confirmed Winston Churchill’s reputation as a heavy drinker. It all started back in 1899. Churchill, aged 25, was a correspondent on the Morning Post, covering the Boer war. Sent out to the front line, he took with him 36 bottles of wine, 18 bottles of ten-year old scotch, and 6 bottles of vintage brandy (a drink he believed was essential to a stable diet). Clearly Churchill had better access to alcohol than most people on the South African front: his stores were said to contain “many bottles of whisky, claret, and port.”

Answer 2

Johnnie Walker Black blended Scotch Whiskey.
