Sir John A Macdonald was a chronic alcoholic. His alcohol consumption was detrimental to the proper functioning of Canada's government. Whenever he faced a crisis, he retreated to the bottle. He was often absent on a bender for days at a time. On many occasions, not even his wife or closest associates knew where he was or how to find him.
