As a group, they were known for their tactical use of insular and porous sociability and for their notoriously excessive drinking. This paper will explore the relationship between alcohol, the body, morality, and politics in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, focusing on the heaviest Foxite imbiber Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) during his political decline. Despite frequent contemporary references to Sheridan\u2019s \u2018Six-Bottle Man\u2019 status, an in-depth study of alcohol&#8217;s role on his health, career and character is overdue. Sheridan\u2019s relationship with alcohol is best summarised by his own retort: warned that alcohol would destroy the coat of his stomach, he replied, \u2018well then my stomach might just digest in its waistcoat\u2019. By the end of his career, Sheridan was commonly depicted in visual culture in the midst of vomiting, and this paper is concerned with how the physical effects of excessive consumption were used to illustrate a subject\u2019s decline, illness, corruption and political unsuitability in caricature. Sheridan will serve as a case study to explore the wider significance of how excessive consumption was perceived by his contemporaries and the voting public; how it affected his political career and his health, how it became the subject of satirical culture and how these interrelated.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong> Dr Callum D.
