At a certain point that’s all the overindulger has to converse about.
- hx8 1y agoIt doesn't have to degrade to that level. There's definitely a population that drinks alone and has interests outside of alcohol. I've known plenty of divorced men that regularly drink while watching sports/TV alone, but when picking a conversation topic will often choose their kids or sports over alcohol consumption.
- genocidicbunny 1y agoThere are plenty of counter-examples to that. Many heavy drinkers get to the point where they're only feeling 'normal' due to drinking a lot, and can only go about their day by heavily indulging. One of the Monty Python guys was an alcoholic, at the 'bottle of vodka per day' level. You've probably also known some heavy alcoholics at some point in your life if you've been around long enough, but you wouldn't really know it unless you knew the subtle clues to look for; They tend to become very good at hiding it. They're not chugging vodka out of a bottle, they're putting a bit of a pick-me-up in every cup of coffee they're drinking.
