For me drinking is immoral. Using money that should go to my children to feed my own self-indulgence is wrong (for me). Driving so drunk I don't know how I got home, let alone if I hit anything on the way is reprehensible behaviour. I'm quite disgusted at myself. All so I could feel good.
The beast built a golden palace to alcohol right in the centre of my life and I poured all my resources, financial and otherwise, into maintaining it. In the mean time, everything around the palace turned into a wasteland because there was nothing left over.
