Richard Harris – I just love drinking and being drunk

Actor and committed rugby fan and player Richard Harris suffered nine broken noses - and not all of them were from playing rugby. Harris was perfectly happy to let his fists do the talking if necessary. He once went on a three-week drinking session with an Irish rugby team after popping out to the shops for a bottle of milk, leaving his wife none the wiser. He summed up his love of the alcohol thus: "I don't drink because I have problems or I want to escape. I just love drinking and being drunk." You can't say fairer than that.
