By just making enough to fuel his addiction and eat a few times a week. I could never function because I'd straight wake up and drink glasses of 80 proof though.

They usually don't. Go to any dive bar in America twice in one week and expect to see the same ten alcoholics each time.
I'm a regular at my local bar (currently here, watching my hot hipster ex gf blow me off as we speak)

No one can touch Viggo, but I can definitely see Cage in the role.

Fun fact: When the author of Leaving Las Vegas (fiction based on his life story) learned that Nicolas Cage would be portraying him in the film, he promptly committed suicide.

I'm going to go with Vampire's Kiss

The Weather Man

the one where he guns bad guy, runs through fire and win

The one in this film is really really gooood. There are similar characters that has the struggles with the alcohol in history of cinema. Several famous ones have dealt with subject matters, but Nick Cage is the king of the hill. I liked Emily Blunt's effort in "The Girl On The Train". But it didn't come close to Nick's.
