Short answer to the OP's question: Yes. Call it "a taste for the good life" or say that Cassavetes "enjoyed his cocktails," whatever - but someone who drinks an amount considered excessive by healthcare professionals and who ultimately compromises his health so much that it shortens his life IS an alcoholic. The fact that he smoked surely hastened his death as well. Pity, as he was a very talented man.

He was a pretty decent actor, but he really over acted most of the time. Seems like he was always trying to be a little too cool for his own good. I think maybe because he was only 5' 7" tall that he had 'short man's syndrome' and tried to make people think he was tougher than he looked. See this a lot with Steve McQueen as well. Cassavettes and his wife Gina Rowlands made a pretty good acting team for a married couple though.
