Was Hemingway an alcoholic? Proof?

Hemingway loved to drink, you know from his letters, the drinks named after him, the many bios about him and how everyone is always drinking in his novels

It is thought by some that Hemingway not only drank excessively but also suffered from depression. I have read that John F. Kennedy asked Hemingway to write a poem or essay which was to be included in Mr. Kennedy's inaugural speech in 1961. When he was not able to come up with any words this triggered a depression and Hemingway's suicide followed.

This Washington Post article discusses Hemingway's alcoholism in very clear terms.

Some of his autobigraphical stories refer to frequent drinking binges, as do many of his bios. Did you know his father also was a drunk and also comitted suicide by gun?

The proof is in the man, read on....
