Oh Dear! There seems to be a drink problem in Holmfirth!!!! Billy Hardcastle got very drunk in his debut episode How Errol Flynn Discovered The Secret Scar Of Nora Batty. I'm sure there are many others......

What about the reoccurring drunks played by Eli Woods & James Casey !? Did those characters have a name?

Norris [the second husband] and Truly are a tad merry singing jolly old pals after meeting and signing papers in the Second Husband and the Showgirls

Compo had supped 5 pints and was on another bottle and in a singing mood in the Woollenmills of your mind.

Gough was absolutely rubber leg drunk in Happy Anniversary Gough and Jessie.

I think Crowcroft [Roy Barraclough] was fairly tipsy and euphoric on a mixture of Alcohol and Cake but boy did he sober up quickly after "gaining" access to Nora Batty's Boudoir when she dragged him through the door.

They were all well oiled in Look whose wheel has come off, but Howard in particular was ratted.
Wasn't Foggy supposed to sozzled in his very last episode (which he didn't appear in!)?
On that subject, I cannot recall any episode where any of the 'leader man' characters were drunk (I don't count Foggy's no show episode!) was there any?

There goes the Groom, Uncle of the Bride, The Black Widow?
Completely forgot about Seymour! I can't remember Foggy was drunk in The Black Widow ?

Maybe not drunk, but so badly hungover that he couldn't stand to attention. And Compo was no better.

If I remember it well, he saw the doctor because of a splitting headache. The doctor gave him an aspirin !
In Look Who's Wheels Come Off Howard is drunk at the end of the episode. I think he's the last drunk in the entire series, if you exclude Terry sipping beer in the back of the hotel on the final episode!!!!

Did we exhaust them all on this thread, any drunkards we missed?
