Literature's Best Known Drunk

 Inside the Rowan Oak estate, a few old, empty bottles of ink and bourbon from William Faulkner's stash can be found. According to Rowan Oak and William Faulkner enthusiast, Bill Griffin said,  "With the completion of each novel, he went into a depression." While Faulkner has been called of of literature's best known drunks, he never wrote and drank simultaneously.
"He used liquor as a way to escape his life, but he did not feel that it aided his creative process," Griffin said.
