Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
'One thing about alcohol; it works. It may destroy a man's career, ruin his marriage, turn him into a zombie, unconscious in a hall-way, but it works. On short term, it works much faster than a psychiatrist or a priest or the love of a husband or a wife; those things, they all take time. They must be developed. But alcohol is always ready to go to work at once.
