After working in an agency setting while trying to run several small projects on the side, I can see why work-related stress would turn hair white and bring about countless wrinkles prematurely. With that said, alcohol may help to a degree, but with the stressors of everyday life it's too easy to get carried away. For awhile I was drinking nearly every night of the week. I would drink in an attempt to forget about the failures of my career and the debts I had taken on as a result. Only to find that those worries were still very realistically there the next day, and I had lost time that would otherwise have been spent working or improving myself, thanks to drinking. Now, due in-part to meditation, a closer circle of friends and peer supporters, and a lot of reading, I haven't touched more than a single beer in two weeks. And it feels great because it allows me to get more done.
