I don't know if he's stopped since then. For SYW everyone was talking about how much mellower they all were than they were in days past, so I got the impression that John wasn't getting drunk and angry any more.

He has talked about his drinking to the extent that it hurt Christine and she got tired of seeing him that way.

well, it sounds like he didn't stop drinking, even then, and not for decades after. Do we think his drinking was better controlled in later years, or that Julie just handles it better?
