Ser_Jaker 07/09/20 6:57:40 PM #1:	You know the general trope... Person gets depressed or down on themslves and they bury themselves into a bottle. Now I absolutely adore alcohol. I love the history, production, taste, cocktails etc etc. I love my booze. But I can only ever drink when I'm in a good mood and usually only when I'm with friends. (Although sometimes I drink alone) Drinking when I'm in a bad mood sounds awful and never crosses my mind. --- "When it's cold, and when it's dark....

Makes the bad feeling feel less bad Edit: You could amend that sentence to "Makes the bad feeling feel less" and it'd work too I would argue it makes them worse. My reason being that I've been around a lot of drunk breakdowns that would of never happened if the person was sober. And then them being drunk completely cancels out any type of growth they might of got from a sober breakdown. So it just turns into a cycle.

I should of been just adding to the conversation instead of arguing it. Of course everyone's not in the same box. We are very complex. That's like saying everyone who smokes weed daily is a slacker.
