But, there are many issues in history that are still being developed and new evidence discovered. If we condemn and shun all new ideas about what really happened, then we are hurting our chances of actually learning from history.
I can't imagine what you imagine the clarification of Churchill's drinking adds to history.

Not much, that is true. We should not ignore it, but, Churchill was a very high-functioning heavy drinker. I'm not offended.
There are other areas of history where new research has revealed important areas where re-interpretation is warranted, because these new conclusions challenge some things that have been "known" for a long time.
Churchill was a high-functioning alcoholic? So what, I say. He was pretty good at his jobs.
PS Am I sensing here that some people are emotionally distraught about the info in the OP? That's weird. Why would a historical fact upset somebody?
