How's your russian?

Cruising the web, I found a page about Bill Wilson in russian.
Rather long...
Below, the last paragraph, and its translation, using Babelfish.com
Quote:
Как бы то ни было, факт остается фактом: самому Уилсону удалось бросить пить и привести к этому же тысячи людей. Однако заядлым курильщиком он оставался до самой смерти. Он умер от пневмонии 24 января 1971 года, оставив в наследство анонимным алкоголикам всего мира 12 шагов к новой жизни.
Quote:
However that may be, fact remains the fact: Wilson himself succeeded himself in throwing to drink and to lead to the same of thousands of people. However, it remained inveterate smoker to death itself. It died of pneumonia on 24 January, 1971, after leaving as the inheritance to the anonymous dipsomaniacs of entire peace of 12 steps toward the new life.
From now on, you will all refer to me as a dipsomaniac.
Much more fun than alcoholic

Does this mean I can call him "dipsy" for short?
Or "dipso"?

Dipsy sounds too much like a Teletubbie...(it's not my fault I know their names...I have KIDS!)

Dipso...now that has a ring to it, doesn't it?

What?
There's no Russian translation for "pissing"?
Shame about that and all, it's a great word.
