They don't make drinkers like Humphrey Bogart anymore. Here's proof: http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/01-05/0105-bogart.htm.
Near the end of the piece, Rich points out the various theories of scores of biographers and others of why Bogart hit the bottle so hard but the answer was far more simple--he drank because he liked to. After reading this, I'm thinking of throwing down a pitcher of martinis at lunch and returning to work to in order to observe the results. I'm guessing it won't be pretty.
