Some cannot express their feelings and drink to loosen up.
Some don't want to feel their feelings and drink to suppress.
For my RAH it was this... And it was all he knew. He grew up in an alcoholic family and was taught to not trust non drinkers. They were "religious freaks" according to his family (and still are, but me and my RAH are freaks now too lol). Seriously, they think we are nuts, but we think two grown men in their 50s having a drunken brawl in their front yard is nuts.
