Jay here:


I personally was not aware that Lon Chaney had a
a drinking "problem" I will only say that it did not
diminish one bit his talent as an actor; as stated
one can sometimes have a "prediliction" for it, in
one's genes,and, of course, we don't know what
"personal" demons may have "haunted" him.
R.I.P. Lon.
