Mine wants to know how you even signed up here with such low maturity levels that you think being an alcoholic is cool.

A simple man is the sum of his flaws but a great man is not.

I didn't know that England had prohibition

The doctor's letterhead states he's in New York. Churchill did visit the US from time to time after all.

Lots of people were able to get prescriptions for alcohol during prohibition

Churchill was very nearly killed in New York City in 1932 when he got out of his cab one night looking for Bernard Baruch’s home. The cabbie was lost and Churchill had been to Baruch’s home before. They were in the right neighborhood and he thought he could find the house if he got out and looked at the houses. He stepped off the curb and forgot that traffic flowed in the opposite direction. He walked in front of another car and was badly broken up, taking months to recover. He always had alcohol in his bloodstream and England had never had prohibition, so his injuries combined with his alcohol habit necessitated the “prescription”.
