As a kid I didn't get the drunk Dean Martin jokes on Bugs Bunny. Watching him on old roast videos, yeah, he was fucking hammered 24/7.
Go check some Don Rickels roasts! The man was fucking brutal, thought Sinatra was going to cap his ass on the spot when Don joked about Frank's mob ties. Kissing Sammy Davis Jr., "Did I get any black on me?"
Dean Martin was faking it. He barely drank, and was not a partier. It was all an act.
I remember an interview, where he broke kayfabe and hinted to the interviewer something to the effect of "do you think I could be as successful as I am if I drank that heavily?"
No way! And all these years later I learn this.
Rickles had ZERO chill. fuckin hilarious though.
