Robert Louis Stevenson?

Question

Dose anyone know if RLS had a drinking problem or liked to drink rum

Answer 1

He did have a reputation for heavy drinking during his college years. He was also sickly for a lot of his life, so it is thought he used drugs to alleviate his symptoms. He died at age 44 of an aneurysm. Hope this helps you.
