Four years member of the group "Smash !!" Vlad Topalov used drugs. This fact was partly the cause of the collapse musical group. For the first time, the singer tried a banned drug in 2004, after which he could no longer stop. In an interview, Topalov admits that he vaguely remembers that time. In the memory of the artist, only individual frames from parties emerge. By the way, Vlad used drugs in huge quantities. If the average drug addict ate two pills a night, then Topalov's number reached 10-15.

In 2008, Vlad Topalov's body could not withstand such loads. The artist's kidney began to fail. Luckily, the doctors arrived on time. The artist was hospitalized. Topalov spent two weeks in the clinic on painkillers, even thought of committing suicide, but found the strength to overcome his addiction.

Tatyana Dogileva was a regular at the Moscow Narcological Hospital No. 17. The actress was brought to be treated for binge two or three times a year. A separate ward was allocated for Dogileva, where she could hide from prying eyes. medical staff This medical institution claimed that Dogileva did not delay treatment and after a few days of drinking she called and asked for help.

Dogileva's addiction to alcohol began with cheerful gatherings with colleagues after filming. Tatyana kept her mark, believing that the actress must definitely drink and smoke.

In February of the same year, the actress noisily celebrated her birthday, after which she ended up in a psychiatric hospital. By the way, the star asked herself to go to a psychiatric clinic. The fact is that Dogileva could not cope with alcohol addiction on her own. Her body stopped producing serotonin, the hormone of joy, so the actress was constantly covered with depression.

In the program “Alone with Everyone”, Irina Allegrova admitted: “I was an ostrich at that moment, to which it seemed that he hid his head in the sand, and that’s it, no problem. It wasn't very good. But then I was in pain, and I thought that if I had a drink, it would become easier.

Addiction to alcohol affects not only simple people but also celebrities. Next, we suggest remembering 10 domestic stars who were killed by alcohol.

Vladislav Galkin

The death of Vladislav Galkin in 2010 shocked the whole country. He was only 38 years old. The viewer remembered Vladislav Galkin primarily for his roles in the series "Truckers" and "Saboteur". The main cause of death was acute heart failure followed by cardiac arrest. During the autopsy, the doctors came to the unequivocal conclusion that the actor's body was seriously worn out due to nervous exhaustion and alcohol abuse.

Georgy Yumatov

The star of the films "Officers", "Admiral Ushakov" and "They were the first." The actor drank heavily. Once, while intoxicated, he even killed a man. In 1995, he underwent a severe operation to remove an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, and in October 1997 he died from a rupture of this same abdominal aorta.

Yuri Bogatyrev

All-Union fame came to Bogatyryov after the release of the film “At Home Among Strangers, A Stranger Among Ours”, in which he played Yegor Shilov. He was an unmercenary and an idealist. He didn't hold onto money. AT last years the actor became addicted to alcohol, lost his shape, and he was less invited to the cinema. Friends explained this by the actor's feelings about his homosexuality. Lack of demand and creative dissatisfaction, he tried to fill with alcohol. Died at 41. Diagnosis - acute heart failure.

Oleg Dal

The actor died at the age of 39 from a heart attack. I drank heavily. So, he was eventually expelled from the Moscow Art Theater. And this despite the fact that, according to the testimony of the widow of Oleg Ivanovich, Elizabeth, he had poor health and diseased heart. Oleg Dal died on March 3, 1981 in a hotel room during a creative trip to Kyiv. According to the widespread version, the heart attack was provoked by the use of alcohol, which was contraindicated for the patient, "sewn up" with an anti-alcohol capsule.

Oleg Efremov

Like many creative people, alcohol helped him create and inspire fellow artists. But at the same time, naturally, shortened his life. The actor tried many times to get rid of addiction, but to no avail. He died at 72 years old.

Andrey Krasko

From childhood, Andrei grew up as a sickly child. His mother even had to quit her job in order to spend a lot of time with her son. And yet, already an adult actor Andrei Krasko suffered from alcohol and nicotine addiction in severe form. And this despite the fact that he had asthma. He died at the age of 49 from heart failure, the so-called alcoholic heart attack.

Georgy Burkov

Talented Soviet actor died at the age of 57. official reason death was a thromboembolism - a blood clot broke off from him. But by that time, Georgy Burkov's health had been severely undermined by alcohol. So much so that after the autopsy, the doctors said: "How did he even live with such vessels ...".

Nikolai Eremenko Jr.

Brave handsome Soviet and Russian cinema, Russian macho. Women literally fell at his feet. But he, the favorite of millions, was ruined by alcohol. The official diagnosis of doctors is a stroke. But only a few years later, Nikolai's relatives revealed the secret of his death. He simply could not get out of another binge. And he drank a lot before that.

Vladimir Vysotsky

The last years of his life, alcoholism and drug addiction began to greatly interfere with Vysotsky's work. Quite shortly before his death, he decided to finally and irrevocably quit drugs, but did not have time - he was overtaken by a heart attack at the age of 42.

Yuri Klinskikh

Founder and permanent leader of the Gaza Strip group. I was never a teetotaler, I drank a lot and often. Officially, the cause of death was a heart attack, although he had not previously had any heart problems. According to the unofficial version, Yuri suffered from drug addiction and was ill with hepatitis, which caused his death.

Only relatively recently, the truth was revealed about the drinking bouts of Vysotsky, Burkov, Dahl, Oleg Efremov, about the tragedy of Georgy Yumatov, who shot his neighbor-janitor in a drunken stupor, and Valentina Malyavina, who was accused of murder civil husband Stas Zhdanko. Actress Marianna Vertinskaya said that she got rid of drunkenness in a specialized clinic. Sergei Shakurov, who even jumped into the fountains on the Kinoshock, was also cured of "this case", and now he has become an absolute teetotaler. And the most famous Mary Poppins, Natalya Andreichenko, told in an interview how she was treated for alcoholism after breaking up with Maximilian Schell. Most recently, the magnificent actor Andrei Krasko, who passed away, honestly admitted that he was an alcoholic, and a drunken one.

Vysotsky's addiction to alcohol acquired a mythological format during his lifetime. Moreover, every time it all started with libations and ended with men's showdowns, fights broke out instantly. And it happened that Vladimir Semenovich went into a binge and disappeared without a trace for a week. But when the leading artist finally appeared, he was forgiven everything.

By the way, the wife of Vladimir Vysotsky, the French star Marina Vladi, was also not averse to drinking. It is known that when Vysotsky died, Vlady lived for a month and a half at the dacha of screenwriter Eduard Volodarsky, drinking five bottles of champagne a day.

The wonderful actress Elena Mayorova doused herself with gasoline and burned herself, also becoming a victim of destructive passion. After an autopsy, they found in her blood a large number of alcohol. Actors who knew Maiorova closely said that in a state of intoxication she was prone to shocking, but her death had deeper causes. After all, it was at this time that the actress found out that her father and husband had cancer. Among other things, evil tongues speak of an unfortunate love story that happened to Mayorova on the set of her last movie"Strange time" and was one of the reasons tragic death actresses.

Nikolai Eremenko Jr. has always been proud of the fact that he does not drink and is healthy as a bull. However, Eremenko hid a terrible secret from everyone: the actor was a drunken alcoholic - he often broke down and drank, which only the closest friends of the actor knew about. And the most tragic for him was a binge during the filming of the TV series "Brigade". It was then that he just got married, got an apartment and ... broke loose. This breakdown was the cause of a stroke, from which the actor died at the age of 52.

37-year-old actress Valentina Malyavina was accused in 1983 of stabbing her lover, actor Stas Zhdanko, who died from a direct wound to the heart. For what she had done, the judge measured Mulyavina for nine years, four and a half of which she served.

On the other hand, sometimes creative people drunk acquire a special charm. This was Efremov Sr. It is known that when he was "in the eyeballs", "teetotalling" was not easy for him. Suppressing the desire to drink, Oleg Nikolaevich tormented the artists, was constantly dissatisfied with the rehearsals. But sooner or later the day came when he came tipsy - kind, generous, smiling, and everyone was happy, everyone adored him.

The son of the great director, actor Mikhail Efremov, to whom the passion for alcohol, apparently, was inherited, was also noticed in discrediting ties with the "forty-degree" one. But if the director Efremov Sr. drank from hopelessness, then the actor Efremov Jr. - for any reason. However, the actor does not consider himself an alcoholic, he says that the rumors about his drunkenness are greatly exaggerated. And that he drinks solely for the sake of a hangover, during which the most difficult roles succeed "on a bare nerve".

“By the way, I can’t stand this vodka and never drink it. Bourbon is a completely different matter, I have a certain weakness for it!” - Efremov Jr. admitted in an interview.

And shocking rocker Sergei Shnurov assures that he went on stage sober only a couple of times in his life, and then only because he was taking antidepressants then. The rest of the time Cord appears before the audience exclusively "under the degree".

Another rocker, Vladimir Kuzmin, is also known for long drinking bouts. There was a time when on his solo albums he often appeared in such a strong drunk that he could not remember his own songs, and could hardly stand on his feet. Once, the listeners, outraged by the state of the singer, even demanded a refund for the tickets.

Popular artist Andrei Danilko, better known to his fans as Verka Serduchka, at the end of January of this year, completely stopped touring for several months. The reason for this was more than valid - the artist was treated for alcoholism. It should be noted that Danilko's entourage has long noted his love of drinking. And having become a superstar, the artist turned out to be even more dependent on alcohol, but, despite the advice of relatives and friends, he did not want to hear about treatment. This went on until Andrei himself felt very ill. It is for this reason that the doctors of the Kiev center "Favorit" seriously took up the health of the public's pet.

Alexander Domogarov also visited a narcological clinic this spring, where doctors had to try hard to get the people's favorite out of the binge, especially since it had to be done in a fairly short time. The actor broke loose after a long abstinence at the premiere of the film "The Count of Montenegro", so much so that in serious condition and was taken to the 17th narcological hospital.

By the way, the fact that Domogarov abuses alcohol has long been known. However, before he got out of heavy binges at home with the help of a school friend, a narcologist.

On the one hand, Alexander Yuryevich can be understood - in recent times it is almost invisible on the TV screen. Of course, offers of roles to an actor of this level are constantly received, but the star status does not allow him to grab the first job that comes across. However, the "stars" should not be idle - this adversely affects their health. Domogarov, in addition to creative downtime, has also recently added personal problems. For very a short time he broke up with two "most big loves in my life, "actresses Gromushkina and Alexandrova. In such a situation, even a teetotaler and an ulcer will drink.

Dmitry Kharatyan also could not cope with addiction on his own. There was a period when he appeared drunk at all the premieres. By the way, Dmitry's addiction to alcohol appeared at the dawn of his fame. Social life with feasts, banquets and receptions instilled in him bad habit, which eventually turned into a destructive passion. In the fight against the "green snake" Kharatyan tried a lot of methods of treatment. One time really short period refused to drink, drinking only water and juices, but ... The deadline passed, and the actor again took up the glass. He visited psychologists, was coded, but the effect was enough for two or three months. Only after treatment in a drug treatment clinic did the favorite of millions stop drinking. It is known that the wife of a celebrity, actress Marina Maiko, insisted on treatment, who tried in vain to solve the problem of her husband's alcoholism for more than one year. And Kharatyan managed to cope with the destructive passion. The artist himself admits that without the help of his wife, he could not have completely recovered. It was she who convinced Dmitry to lie in drug treatment clinic. Now the actor does not drink and again regularly appears in films and theater projects.

"Cop" Aleksey Nilov also repeatedly turned to the help of specialists. His wives could not stand long drinking bouts and left. But the actor did not quit drinking. Sometimes because of his binges even had to cancel the shooting. Nilov often admitted that the love of alcohol could cost him his life. He had attacks of delirium tremens several times, and in 2000 Alexei survived clinical death caused by excessive drinking. Then the doctors literally saved his life.

But the famous director Vladimir Menshov is convinced that it is not necessary and even dangerous to treat a person of art for addiction to alcohol, since compulsory treatment can be fraught with catastrophic consequences. “I don’t believe in any of the methods of medical influence, I think that they are all deadly. I fundamentally hate methods based on fear - when a person should be afraid to drink. I avoided such treatment, I think this is how I escaped,” the director admitted. In addition, Menchov does not consider alcohol evil and is afraid of people who do not drink.

So, for example, Mikhail Boyarsky thought about a sober lifestyle after he discovered a whole bunch of diseases. Before that, by his own admission, he could drink fourteen bottles of vodka. However, the famous musketeer fails to lead a sober lifestyle for a long time. He still admits that the only way for him to relax is alcohol.

But there are a lot of teetotalers in the domestic cinema and show business.

So, Alexei Guskov quit drinking a long time ago. Now he answers the offer to drink with the words of Sorin from Chekhov's "The Seagull": "No, let's talk first, and then drink. Because if you drink, you will not be you, but you plus someone."

Alexander Zbruev in his childhood drank a glass of vodka and poisoned himself, after which he turned out only from memories alone. Although the actor does not completely exclude alcohol for himself. Eldar Ryazanov at the age of 17, wanting to seem like an adult, got so drunk that for ten years he could not even sip a glass.

At one time, another favorite of the public, Anatoly Papanov, was no stranger to drinking. During drunken periods, his wife Nadezhda was afraid to leave her husband at home alone. However, over time, Anatoly Dmitrievich showed exceptional will in the matter of relations with alcohol, leaving this occupation abruptly - literally in one day.

After many years of drinking, and also after the excess that happened to him under New Year in live, firmly "tied up" and TV presenter Yuri Nikolaev, who, according to him, "already drank for himself and for that guy." Over the past fifteen years, Yuri Mikhailovich has been drinking only mineral water and is actively involved in sports.

Vlad Galkin, constantly playing in all the series, with love for whom thousands of fans are thrilled, also turned out to be a heavy drinker, which often made the filming process difficult. At one time, even Vlad's wife, actress Daria Mikhailova, could not keep him from taking alcohol during work. However, at this stage, Vlad held back his passion for strong drinks, and life in the family of actors more or less improved.

"I'm not the most drunk in our workshop," says the most outrageous young actor Alexei Panin today, whose drunken adventures once became a byword, and his name long time did not leave the pages of the yellow press. And no wonder: he gets drunk, then he gets drunk. True, they say that Lesha Panin took up his mind and ... coded. At social events, he behaves more than modestly and drinks exclusively mineral water.

In our article we will consider the fate of the most famous people our country and the whole world who suffered from alcohol addiction.

The most famous male alcoholics

Many famous people could not give up alcohol, some great generals, writers, reformers and even modern politics. So, the greatest drunkards of the world are the following people known to many of us:

1. The first in the list of great people who are not indifferent to the bottle was. Alcohol killed him at the age of 33.

7. Bogdan Khmelnitsky did not disdain alcohol either. He was convinced that wine should be drunk as a cure for different problems. That is why in history he became famous as a lover of drunken celebrations.

Perhaps great writers, rulers and politicians drink alcohol because they are constantly under stress and their life is quite eventful and difficult, and alcohol allows you to relax. As for our time, such famous people of our time suffered from alcoholism:

• Quite often, Ukrainian politician Yuriy Lutsenko became the hero of anecdotes, press jokes and humorous shows because of his alcohol addiction. Although today we can say that this man was able to cope with addiction and take the path of a sober life, which allowed him to continue a successful political career.
• Suffered from alcohol addiction and the great actor of the times Soviet Union Radner Muratov. Many of us remember him for his role in the film "Gentlemen of Fortune". The life of this famous person ended in loneliness and poverty due to his passion for alcoholic beverages.

• Writer Edgar Allan Poe died due to inflammation of the brain due to severe alcohol intoxication when drunk to the point of insanity.
• Among famous writers suffering from alcohol addiction, it is worth mentioning Remarque and Ernest Hemingway.

• The well-known drinking poet Omar Khayyam also could not refuse alcohol and applied to the bottle regularly, which did not prevent him from writing wonderful works.
• Among the famous people who are addicted to alcohol, it is worth mentioning the writer Jack London.

You can also mention the great artist Vincent van Gogh, who repeatedly applied to psychiatric clinics for the treatment of alcohol dependence. In death famous composer Modest Mussorgsky is guilty of alcohol, which brought a person to a state of delirium tremens. One can only guess how many wonderful great works these people could create if alcohol addiction did not interfere with them, and if alcohol did not take their lives.

Great women alcoholics

We all know that celebrity alcoholics are not only men, but also great women who are addicted to alcohol. Among them are many Russian celebrities and world stars:

1. worldwide famous singer from France, Edith Piaf became addicted to alcohol in her youth. She often drank herself unconscious, which was the cause of her death in her youth.
2. History knows another woman alcoholic - Galina Brezhneva. Because of her passion for alcohol, she lost her mind, which led to death in the walls of a lunatic asylum.
3. Known Russian actress Tatyana Dogileva still drinks. The cause of the passion for alcohol was a deep depression. Subsequently, this led to alcohol addiction.

Important: everyone knows that female alcoholism develops much faster and is more difficult to treat, however, there are famous women who were able to cope with alcohol addiction and continue a successful career and a fulfilling life.

A wonderful example of successful healing from addiction was given to us by the following famous women:

• TV presenter and actress Larisa Guzeeva was very fond of holidays and fun parties, where she could not refuse alcohol. She became addicted to alcohol during her marriage to her first drug addict husband. However, in the future, she was able to completely overcome her addiction and continue to work on television.
• Another TV presenter who was able to cope with addiction is Lera Kudryavtseva. She became addicted to alcohol after her first divorce, which plunged her into a deep depression. But then the girl was able to give up alcohol. Now she does not drink alcohol even on holidays.
• Despite a successful career and fame, Drew Barrymore also became addicted to alcohol. But then the girl was able to cope with herself and completely refused to drink alcohol, which allowed her to get rid of alcohol addiction.
• Another one famous woman, successfully cured of alcohol addiction - Kelly Osbourne. Kelly can be a clear example of how much a person changes after giving up alcohol and embarking on the path of a sober life. Before that, she was quite full and unattractive, but after giving up alcohol, she took up her appearance, lost weight and became a very beautiful and successful girl.
• Everyone knows the singer and actress Britney Spears, who, after a divorce, found solace in alcohol and drugs. But later she changed her mind, recovered from harmful addictions and continued her successful career. Her personal life also improved.
• Do not drink alcohol Kristin Davis, she would have been able to build a career as an actress much earlier. But at the age of 25, she simply could not imagine life without alcohol, and only when she got into the group of anonymous alcoholics, she was able to completely get rid of addiction and become successful.
• Previously, Paris Hilton was repeatedly detained for drunk driving. But recently she was able to overcome the craving for alcohol and no longer appears drunk in society.
• The famous fashion model Lara Stone, due to frequent stress and busy life, quite often relaxed with the help of alcohol. But after she realized that she had developed an addiction, she turned to specialists and completely got rid of addiction.

Not many great and famous people have overcome alcoholism. Unfortunately, examples where celebrities were able to cope with addiction are not numerous. Many of them do not recognize that alcohol has completely taken over their lives and are not going to be treated. So, today rampant drinking captured the actress Courtney Love and Lidsay Lohan.

Famous alcoholic actors of Russia and the world

It has been proven that every third celebrity is prone to alcohol abuse. Most likely, this is due to the great popularity, awareness of their greatness and solid fees. Alcoholism was especially widespread among the actors:

1. The famous actor, singer and poet was treated many times and still could not cope with his addiction. On the basis of alcoholism, he had repeated episodes of cardiac arrest. Despite the fact that everyone knew about addiction, even after his death there are fans of Vysotsky's work.
2. Seen in addiction to alcohol such famous actors like Andrei Panin, Yuri Bogatyrev, Vladislav Galkin. The last of them died on the basis of alcoholism all alone at the age of 39.
3. Numerous life shocks caused alcoholism in old age for actor Georgy Yumatov.
4. Some talented Russian celebrities still can not cope with their harmful addiction. These are Alexander Domogarov, Mikhail Efremov, Marat Bashirov, Alexei Nilov.

Alcohol has a significant impact on the image of famous people, as they are constantly in the public eye. As a result, such celebrities can lose their health, popularity, good looks. Over time, their career is on the decline due to lack of professional demand. Often this contributes to even greater dependence, as a person begins to seek solace in alcohol.

Alcoholism is an addiction that affects not only physical health person, but also on his mental state, leading to the collapse of social and family life. When alcoholism becomes a big problem, it's noticeable in how people stop coping with work and other responsibilities as alcohol begins to dominate all aspects of their lives, including relationships with others.
