Born Dino Paul Crocetti, Dean Martin was one of the Greatest Drunks of All Time, along with his Rat Pack cronies Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford. While some say Frank was the real boozer and Dean often pretended to drink while performing on stage, the truth is Dean was a still a seasoned drinker in his own right who could hold his own with the best of them. Dean Martin was a complete entertainer, who could do it all. As a kid Dean delivered bootleg liquor and served as a speakeasy croupier, a blackjack dealer, a steel mill worker, and a welterweight boxer. Later he was part of the biggest entertainment duo in the world as one half of Martin & Lewis. With the Rat Pack Martin was the epitome of cool, with his fun-loving swinger persona Dean always made it look easy. Dean Martin (along with Foster Brooks) was a master of the "drunk act" playing the tipsy loveable ladies man (although he was actually a devoted family man most of his life) with an ever present smoke in one hand and a cocktail (sometimes apple juice or ginger ale) in the other. Dean perpetuated his reputation as a lover of the sauce with his vanity license plates that read "DRUNKY" and his tradition of not rehearsing and improvising at his variety shows. Dean was actually a disciplined and talented artist who memorized entire scripts - not just his own lines. He was an amazing singer, a great actor and fantastic comedian, he could film a movie by day, record a hit record, host a celebrity roast, perform a live show with The Summit, deal cards in a casino, drink all night, and get up the next morning to play golf. Dean Martin: One of the greatest singing and comedic talents in the history of entertainment, and a true legend in the drinking world. Enjoy!

Drunk or not, act or not, the man is/was "elegantly wasted" personified!

Dean Martin was a master of the "drunk act" playing the tipsy but loveable ladies man with an ever present cocktail in his hand. His license plates read "DRUNKY" and he never rehearsed before his variety shows but he was really a disciplined artist who memorized entire scripts - not just his own lines.
