Brendan Behan was very drunk for most of his life, but he was also a revolutionary in his late teens. He was in the IRA but got nicked when he was sixteen for trying to blow up Liverpool docks and was sent to a borstal. After he got out he got nicked again when he was nineteen for trying to kill two english detectives and went to jail for a long time and came out disillusioned and cynical.
