Vicar, whose partner died of alcoholic liver disease, hits out at inaccurate depictions of excess
The Rev Richard Coles has called for more realistic and less glamourised depictions of alcoholism on TV as he recalled his late husband’s battle with excessive drinking that led to his death.
Coles, a vicar in Northamptonshire, said there was a need to restore “realism to a distorted picture” of “how we poison ourselves” for fear of romanticising a debilitating disease.
