Many films have been made about alcoholism, but surely one of the best is "The Lost Weekend".

 My Lost Weekend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
You'd think that a gathering of more than 300 top-flight conservative pundits, politicians and activists taking place ten days after a presidential impeachment and barely a week before a Senate trial, both triggered by a Republican majority vote, might be a moment of high celebration.
Organized three years ago as a counter to the presidentially preferred touch-me-feel-me Renaissance Weekend, the conservative Weekend is supposed to be a much more straightforward, more cerebral sort of political forum on the future of the right.
By 8:55 am on the Weekend's first morning, Phillips had successfully bored even the faithful as he droned on about how he's turned the impeachment drive into a multimillion-dollar commercial bonanza.

Don's wrenching desperation is painful -- he justifies his drinking by explaining that booze makes him feel like he's soaring, yet agonizes over the awfulness of waking up at dawn to realize the bars don't open for hours.
As the weekend passes, he spirals deeper and deeper into anguish, tearing Wick's apartment apart in search of a hidden bottle, wandering the streets of New York in search of an open pawn shop, looking to hock his typewriter for money for booze.
As horrifying in its own way as Trainspotting (though less graphic), The Lost Weekend turns a searing gaze on one man's nightmare and won't let him -- or us -- wake up.
