However, alcohol abuse, especially over an extended period, can be extremely damaging to our health and is definitely not something to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, there are many celebrities who ultimately succumbed to their drinking problem. In 1974, Burton almost died from a binge on hard liquor, celebrities who died of alcoholism and even a few years before, in 1970, doctors had warned him that alcohol abuse would eventually kill him. His destructive habit had caused his kidneys to grow to abnormal proportions and his spine was found (during an operation in the early 1980s) to be covered with crystallized alcohol.

Officially, Kapoor’s cause of death was cited as “liver cirrhosis” – a condition that leaves the organ incapable of purifying blood and more susceptible to subsequent illnesses. After going into rehab in 2008, actress Eva Mendes has lived a sober life since. ‘Hangover’ actor, Bradley cooper has discussed being sober in his 2013 GQ cover story. “If I continued it, I was really going to sabotage my whole life,” he revealed.

Having said that, celebrities like Pooja Bhatt, Javed Akhtar and a few more B-town personalities have been vocal about being heavy drinkers and quitting drinking altogether. A study released in 2012 demonstrated that Indian adolescents aged who were exposed to alcohol consumption in Bollywood films were almost three times more likely to drink than those who were not. Yet despite multiple attempts by state governments to curb it, alcohol abuse is rising rapidly.
