Alcoholism Documentaries?

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if you can point me in the direction of some documentaries that focus on alcoholism or recovery stories.

I watched Rain in our Hearts last night, and would like to see more docs.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Insaneheart,

Try this forum:


Also the Craig Ferguson's story about alcoholism is a great clip. It's one of my favorites.

I'm actually in the middle of watching one right now.
it called "utterly addicted to alcohol", look it up on youtube
it's pretty devastating to watch so far, i'm halfway through

One of my favorite movies is Smashed. It's not a documentary but a fantastic movie about an alchoholic teacher who decides to become sober.

"Drugged, high on alcohol" and "utterly addicted to alcohol" are the same ones. I've watched both!! I worked out very early but no matter, watched again, extremely compelling. "Raining in the Heart" also v good. Sorry i've nothing new to add, I search all the time and apart from "flight" as in the movie it's all I can recommend. I have still to watch "smashed" but heard v mixed reviews.

There are so many! There's the "Bill W Documentary" and I also loved the aforementioned "Smashed" and "Flight"...here's a not so good one I would still recommend called, "Day at the Beach" (made in the UK)...you can rent it. It really outlines just how ugly alcohol can be. Movies such as these really helped me in my first year of sobriety. There's also a good book called, "Drinking a Love Story" by Caroline Knapp.

I saw a Danish one the other week,

I does exist with English subtitles, but not online.

It is well made documentary, but very sad,

Not much recovery there though.
