[[Stereotype]]s of alcoholics are often found in fiction and popular culture.  The 'town drunk' is a stock character in Western popular culture.


Stereotypes of drunkenness may be based on racism, as in the depiction of the Irish as heavy drinkers.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.finfacts.ie/Private/bestprice/alcoholdrinkconsumptionpriceseurope.htm | title=World/Global Alcohol/Drink Consumption 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://clippednews.wordpress.com/2007/03/14/the-worlds-drunks-the-irish/ | title=The World’s Drunks: The Irish }}</ref> In Australia and Canada, Aboriginal people have similarly been stereotyped as alcoholics.
