Famous writers, suffering from alcohol addiction.
On the domestic writers who had an addiction to alcohol, written by more than one material. Meanwhile, there is a fairly long list of their foreign colleagues, who also became famous not only for its products but also addiction. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Erich Maria Remarque. In 1930, this writer wrote his best work - "All Quiet on the Western Front." In circulation, it is second only to the Bible - is not an indication of the genius of its author?
However, Erich Maria Remarque, like many of his colleagues worked mostly under the influence of alcohol. He was constantly tormented by depression and dissatisfaction with their own labor. He passed two World Wars and alcohol became his constant companion. In recognition of the writer, favorite spirits helped him to forget all the horrors of past wars. It is noteworthy that all the characters in his works and could not do without alcohol - they preferred the calvados. Remarque binges tend to be natural, and when he came out of them, then lamented the bygone time, which he could use more productively.

The heroes of his works - the courageous and brave people who can overcome any obstacle in its path. But the writer was not like them. Overcoming obstacles was given to him with great difficulty.
