English journalist who has a reputation as a drinker. Has criticized US president George W. Bush for giving up drinking. Hitchens has also been criticized for his heavy and public use of alcohol, which causes many to discount his opinions. Juan Cole, for example, wrote the following after being attacked by Hitchens in Slate: "I don't think it is any secret that Hitchens has for some time had a very serious and debilitating drinking problem. He once showed up drunk to a talk I gave and heckled me. I can only imagine that he was deep in his cups when he wrote, or had some far Rightwing think tank write, his current piece of yellow journalism. I am sorry to witness the ruin of a once-fine journalistic mind."

Noting that his doctor expressed amazement at his alcohol consumption, Hitchens wrote that "in my time I've met more old drunks than old doctors", which is a variation on a line from the Willie Nelson song "I Gotta Get Drunk". He noted that many great writers "did some of their finest work when blotto, smashed, polluted, shitfaced, squiffy, whiffled, and three sheets to the wind."
