Frank Sinatra drank bottle of Jack Daniels daily until he was 80

Frank Sinatra used to drink a bottle of Jack Daniels daily until he was 80, according to Mitchell Fink, who recorded his fascination with the American singer in an e-book, named 'Frank Sinatra, Miriam, and Me.'
Fink had mentioned in the e-book, which will be available on Amazon that the doctors told the 'Moonlight Sinatra' artist that he needed to stop drinking, but he did what a lot of alcoholics do and switched to wine, the New York Post reported.
According to Fink, who was a teenager when he sat with mobsters at a ringside table to see Sinatra perform at the famed 500 Club in Atlantic City, NJ, the legendary star wasn't killed by Alzheimer's but it was bourbon.
Fink said that he got what turned out to be the last formal interview Ol' Blue Eyes gave to a print reporter before he died at age 82 and YouTube audio link to the interview has been embedded in the e-book.
The book also reports that Sinatra reacted to his daughter Nancy posing nude in Playboy, by saying that he understood going topless but going bottomless bothered him.
