It nearly happened to me one Christmas when i drank several beers and a litre of Bicardi at a party. ![]() ![]() The danger was I didn't feel drunk until it came to bedtime and that's when I knew I was in a bit of trouble.

Mandy's mum in Eastenders although I suspect the storyline was - typically for the time - inexplicably changed. They made a big fanfare of bringing the actress in, then used her for all of two weeks...

You can die of that without being an alcoholic though.

The actor that played Tosh Lines in The Bill died through being an alcoholic.

Shadrach was also the first character I thought of, but Billie as well.

Someone who drinks several beers and a litre of spirits in one session could quite rightly be considered an alcoholic.

Mandy's mum Lorraine is the only one I can think of who has died of alcoholism apart from Angie Watts, not sure if Angie counts as her death was off-screen and almost 15 years after her last appearance. Billy Jackson died of alcohol poisoning caused by a single heavy binge he wasn't an alcoholic which is what the OP's question asks. And Shadrach Dingle although an alcoholic he didn't die directly as a result of his addiction he drowned when he passed out drunk in a pool of water.
