Ray's first gigs were in a bar. Alcohol consumption/abuse is implied.
Later in the movie, there is at least one depiction of Ray being drunk.

Ray's relationship with his manager, early in the film, is not entirely consensual.

There is at least one scene that depicts Ray's younger brother drowning in front of their home when their mother was not supervising them.
This is a major plot point.

Ray Charles was a blind man. He had to face a lot of ableism- including, but not limited to, people purposefully trying to underpay him because he wouldn't be able to immediately call them out, being gotten on about cooking with the lights off, etc.
