John Sutherland of FT has a well written, provocative piece about the recent glut of alcoholic memoirs or “drunkalogues”.
Another sign of the times is the obsession with celebrity alcoholism. It has become as bloody a spectator sport as bull fighting, and as sadistic.

Sutherland answers this question and tackles the subject comprehensively, check it out, here.
