He was a drunk and serial fornicator.

He was a bit more than this: a political and military genius. And that's not to sideline your criticism of him, it's just (in my opinion) he was infinitely more complex and capable than what you posted seems to suggest. 

But yes, he wasn't perfect - none of us are.

True, but I don't think his mother-In-law sardarni Sada Kaur gets the credit or recognition she should, she was responsible for his rise to power and conquering Lahore the capital.  He was a 13/14 year old orphan belonging to the sukerchakia misl which was one of the smallest misls ruling over Gujranwala and a few villages. Sada Kaur on the other hand led the Kanheya misl after her husband died, it was one of the biggest and strongest misls. She saw potential in the 14 year old Ranjit Singh and took him under her wing and helped him conquer important cities including Lahore. She was the mastermind behind it all, a true visionary, and she was damn right about it too. But unfortunately got on his wrong side later on lol!

How? 

I don't know too much about Sada Kaur, but did they somehow go against each other?

Puzzled wrote the truth which sadly hidden from our history. Sada Kaur was the reason why Sikh rule was strong like iron back in days.. Sada Kaur was the reason why all misls/jathay gathered under one person Ranjit Singh.  Ranjit Singh married her daughter Maharani Mehtab Kaur and their only child was Mahraja Sher Singh. Ranjit Singh did not treat her good when they had a fallout and i believe it was when credit was not given and he got married to rani jind kaur.

Sada kaur's end was not good as she was basically home arrested and her property was given to Ranjit Singh. 

Despite that and many of his weakness and if compared with all other rulers of this world, Ranjit singh will always stay at the top.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
