10 Leaders Who Liked to Indulge

Probably part apocryphal story and part truth, this little list talks about famous leaders throughout history who liked to let loose – whether it was with pills, bottles or needles.
Fun fact: Stalin, Russia’s feared leader for more than 30 years, was allegedly a boozehound, who could drink a hollowed-out buffalo horn’s worth of booze according to a firsthand account. For those who don’t measure their booze in animal horns, that’s about three to four bottles of wine.
The article attributes drug and alcohol binges for some of history’s most important battles and reactions. Ah, the sordid history of substance abuse, affecting more than most people realize.
