What a legend! Even the most hardened drinkers I've met would struggle to keep up. Still the lifestyle didn't appear to slow down his incredible work ethic.
I salute you for your bravery, Churchill had a liver made of iron and lungs lined with asbestos, suspect he lived to 90 out of sheer will and spite, so trying to follow him drink for drink and smoke for smoke is a tall order.
How much I enjoyed that! You looked very dapper in the gentleman's outfit and looked the part! I bet you the joggers thought there was a time slip or something!!
Great video. In case it isn't obvious to some of you, Churchill must have developed a physical tolerance for large amounts of nicotine and alcohol over many years. Anyone can do that by starting off small and gradually increasing the dosages over time. But if you are a light drinker and non-smoker and you suddenly adopt Churchill's mature consumption practices, you will make yourself very sick.
I never drink but man life would be so much better if i had a staff like Churchill did. Imagine how nice itd be to have your coffee, breakfast ready for you. Clothes cleaned, pressed. Driven around. Someone fetches all the daily papers for you to read in bed. May sound like a im lazy but i just hate doing these little tasks in order to get the desired outcome. Be nice to get the outcone without having to do the task lol
His way of life was not exactly healthy: ten cigars a day, whisky and soda before breakfast, half a pint of Pol Roger, white wine, claret, late brandies, even during World War II.
Many Churchillians consider Robert Hardy to be the best at embodying Churchill. His tour de force was the 1981 BBC TV series: Winston Churchill - The Wilderness Years (available here on RU-vid). There is also a lovely lecture by him on playing Churchill here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kcvpQ34XIOk.html
What you did NOT put in to your equation, is that Winston took a load of amphetamine also, which explains how he was able to work like a madman whilst drinking like one too. Cheers.
I very much wish to try this, but without that many cigars. I merely hope to try one at some point. Tobacco is very much not my thing but Steven Crowder has me rather wanting to try one out.
It's not too far fetched to imagine why he drank the way he did. Life as a Prime Minister is probably stressful as it is without having to deal with the deadliest war the world has ever seen. I would be zoinked 24/7.
You have balls to try this sir, I must mention I think your whiskey and sodas are too strong. Something about only enough whiskey to cover the bottom of the glass and then fill with soda water. Either way Bravo! Better you than me.😂
I have watched several of these youtubes trying the match Churchill, they always fail to match the cigars and do better matching the alcohol. I bet Churrcrhill built up to his capacity.
You mean Britain, not England. Churchill was prime minister of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). That's why there's no prime minister of England, and there hasn't been a King or Queen of England since Tudor times. I'm an Englishwoman, and my friend is a Scotswoman; I live in England, she lives in Scotland, both on an island called Britain: that also makes us both British. xx
@@SuperFranzs No. I usually drink malts. Old blends are the exception and there are some good ones. Teacher's, JW Black for example. But all 70's or older. Basement finds. Not worth collecting but always fun to taste. A look in the past. I recenetly had a 1970's Glenlivet 12. What a difference. Also recommended.
