Who is the greatest boozer of all time?

Who is the greatest boozer of all time?

I can tell you who isn?t. Last month we saw an overconfident Jackie Gleason nearly bungle his eighth round victory over an unhinged Lord Byron, and witnessed W.C. Fields employ questionable tactics to demolish a disgracefully unprepared F. Scott Fitzgerald. This month three storied British boozers and a L.A. wino mix it up: Fellow poets Charlie ?The Battlin? Barfly? Bukowski and Dylan ?18 and Out? Thomas try to write each other out of the tournament, while thespian Richard ?Double Bourbon? Burton attempts to upstage and outdrink veteran bar battler Winston ?The English Booze Dog? Churchill.

Table Side Announcers: Howard Cosell and Sir Laurence Olivier
