To get an idea of Churchill's annual alcohol consumption, here's what
he ordered in 1908, the year he married Clementine:nine-dozen bottles and seven-dozen half-bottles of Pol Roger 1895
vintage champagne, plus four-dozen half-bottles of the 1900 Pol Roger
vintagesix-dozen bottles of St Estèphe (red) wine
five-dozen bottles of port
seven-dozen bottles of sparkling Moselle (white) wine
six-dozen bottles of whisky
three-dozen bottles of 20-year-old brandy
three-dozen bottles of vermouth
four bottles of gin

In 1935 he spent four times the annual average salary on booze alone.
His MP salary would typically only cover 70% of his annual booze bill.

He probably had guests over a couple of nights at least.
Anyway, he was a snobbish, bigoted, cruel, murderous, racist twat who made some terrible decisions, but he was quite witty and made a few rousing speeches while we were waiting for the Americans, so, history's greatest Englishman.
