Alcohol is a demon. For some people, like me, the hooks get deeper and deeper into you, and become increasingly hard to pull out over time. People like me who really feel love toward others and feel connected may be particularly vulnerable. Alcohol offers an easy escape... A return to a perception of our natural strengths. It is a fallacy. Fortunately the problem is reasonably well understood.

No, people like me - misanthropes who feel lonely and embittered by life - we are more vulnerable.

If it weren't for Billy - my bartender, who knows how to make a mean "Rusty Nail" - I would have given up on humanity long ago!

Seriously: I wonder if you might be one of the exceptions - someone for whom alcohol is not an ultimately ineffective panacea for a far deeper problem.
