I am doing a research paper on Farewell to arms and one question asks about the main characters drinking and whether Hemingway drank aswell. Any real clues pointing to his alcoholism?

Hemingway loved to drink, you know from his letters, the drinks named after him, the many bios about him and how everyone is always drinking in his novels

It is thought by some that Hemingway not only drank excessively but also suffered from depression. I have read that John F. Kennedy asked Hemingway to write a poem or essay which was to be included in Mr. Kennedy's inaugural speech in 1961. When he was not able to come up with any words this triggered a depression and Hemingway's suicide followed.

This Washington Post article discusses Hemingway's alcoholism in very clear terms.

If you are doing a research paper you need a source to back you up. Yahoo Answers is not a source that you can site. Research this in the library, internet, etc. Find published biographies.

i ought to favor to imagine it is someplace between 60 and 80. (30 and 40 if making use of volume). Bacardi 151 is a lot extra ideal though. undergo in options that data is volume cases 2. it is why maximum folk act inebriated even as they "capture the holy spirit".

The guy definitely liked to drink, and all you have to do is look at a biography about him to establish this fact. Heck, they named drinks after the man!

Some of his autobigraphical stories refer to frequent drinking binges, as do many of his bios. Did you know his father also was a drunk and also comitted suicide by gun?
