Struggling with this. Lost a dear friend to alcoholism a few days ago and also an uncle some time back. I enjoy a drink as much as the next person,,albeit very rarely these days as the thought of a hangover puts me off. I have now learned that my friend got to the stage where they were getting the local taxi firm to deliver alcohol for her, and I was appalled at the state of her very upmarket flat - a sea of bottles. This is someone from humble beginnings that I helped sell the business that she started at the age of 22 for £4.75m six years ago.
I have just watched a programme where the subjects sole aim in life was to get totally hammered -as in total oblivion - as often as they could, totally at the taxpayer’s expense, but that’s another story.
I am the first to admit that in my younger days I drank more than I should at times - fortunately I was a ‘happy drunk’ - but what is the attraction of drinking with the objective of total oblivion?
what am I missing?
