Sad when talented people end up drunks

Sad when anyone throws their life away by drinking themselves senseless, we see a lot of that in France and from our experience in this area some expats get on to the slippery slope and the " bon descent continues" The trouble is with drunks is they never see their bad behaviour  and even think like Depardieu  " all you need is a ten minutes siesta after a day drinking, have some rosé and then you are fine!
Gerard Depardieu admits to drinking at least 14 bottles of booze a day
The infamous celebrity, who is as known for his steep bar tabs as he is for his impressive acting career, told French movie magazine So Film that he drinks up to 14 bottles a day, starting before 10 am.
“It starts at home with some Champagne or red wine… Then perhaps half a bottle of Pastis. Then there’s lunch, with two bottles of wine. In the afternoon, at around 5pm, it’s Champagne, beer, and some more Pastis to finish the bottle off. Later on, it’s vodka and/or whisky,” the star says, seemingly unconcerned about the heart bypass surgery he had 14 years ago, mainly due to his high cholesterol levels “and other stuff”.
“I have to be careful. But in any case I’m not going to die now,” he says, adding: “I’m never really drunk, just a bit of a pain in the neck. All you need is a ten minute siesta and, voila, a little rosé on that and you’re fresh as a daisy again.”
Think carefully before opening that second bottle, consume alcohol with moderation to continue the good life.
