She was quoted as saying \u201cMy makeup wasn\u2019t smeared, I wasn\u2019t disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic? \u201d In other words, there are no stereotypical symptoms of alcoholism. Even being first lady of the United States doesn\u2019t make you immune to alcoholism. Despite being sober, Radcliffe admits it\u2019s not easy to maintain his sobriety at events where there\u2019s alcohol.

The famous comedian abused cocaine and alcohol early in his career, but quit when friend and fellow comedian, John Belushi, died of a cocaine and heroin overdose in 1982. After that, the late actor struggled off and on with alcohol for years until his death in 2014. He even regularly highlighted these struggles as a part of his stand-up routines.

Something else these stars have in common was that their flames burned out young, living hard lives and dying directly, or indirectly, due to their drinking. Author Jack Kerouac, whose second novel &#8216;On the Road&#8217; (1957) made him an icon of the Beat Generation, struggled with alcohol abuse throughout his life. When he did pass in 1984 at the age of 58, it was due to an intracerebral hemorrhage. His actual death was sudden, but his health had been declining for many years due to alcoholism.<\/p>\n<p><img class='aligncenter' style='display: block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;' src=\"https:\/\/ecosoberhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-LwySAYBXU5MGEktD-1-500x333.webp\" width=\"309px\" alt=\"celebrities who died of alcoholism\"\/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"HANK_WILLIAMS\">HANK WILLIAMS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img class='aligncenter' style='display: block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;' src=\"https:\/\/ecosoberhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-LwySAYBXU5MGEktD-1-300x200.webp\" width=\"307px\" alt=\"celebrities who died of alcoholism\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While many deaths may be due to misuse of illegal substances, these drugs are not always illicit &#8211; and an overdose may not always be intentional. Peter Cook was a prominent English comedian with a career in British television and movies. During a break, while filming &#8216;Gladiator,&#8217; English actor Oliver Reed died of a heart attack (2000). In 2015, he told the Mirror\u201cIt is my responsibility to do the best I can and to take it one day at a time.
