Answer by thehman
Ted Kennedy just liked to drive drunk. Boris Yeltsin was the true drinker, he would pound a gallon of vodka and teach Ted a thing or two about drinking.

What do you think?
Ardi Pithecus says
Ted Kennedy killed a woman who was not his wife, by driving his car into the river and then lying to entire nation about it.
Yeltsin was so drunk he stopped an entire Soviet military mission by standing on top of one tank and demanding the Army stop. That was the end of the Russian Revolution and the end of the USSR. He became the first President of the New Russia.
You decide.

From what I've heard, Yeltsin would often come to meetings and govt. functions drunk. People around him admired him for being able to function pretty well when he was drunk. Kennedy drank a lot but managed to keep it out of his professional life. So I'd say Yeltsin was the bigger drunk.
