This paper is an attempt to present the motif of alcohol in the works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, who can be considered the literary precursor of modern concepts concerning psychopathology of alcoholism. The motif of alcohol occurs in every novel of the Russian writer, where it makes an important element of human life, and evokes confessions and memories. Alcohol helps to forget and escape from reality, and eliminates existential pain. Among the characters appearing in the entire body of Dostoyevsky's works there are both drunkards and alcoholics. The most interesting literary presentation of the alcoholic is Marmeladov, a character from 'Crime and Punishment'.
