A Gentleman Drunk journals the extended ballad of one man’s true battle with alcohol and how he conquered it.  This distinguished achievement of real-life drama is combined with wit and brutal honesty as the sobering events of Jeffrey’s life leave him at rock bottom before he discovers the source of his decline.
Notes: After a drunken auto accident leaves a man hovering between life and death, he is forced to retrace the major turning points, which led him to this moment. Just when we believe all’s lost and our hero will die unredeemed in the original auto accident, we realize the entire film has been a first hand account told to an international gathering of Alcoholic’s Anonymous by the man, himself, now recovered.
