Most people don't want to stop drinking - even at the depths of a severe hangover, they don't want to quit drinking. They simply want the negative consequences to stop, but they want to keep drinking without suffering from it. To keep drinking and avoid the consequences is not possible. On first glance, one option is an impossible wish and the other option is an obvious choice.
The reality of the choices is:
Keep drinking and suffer the consequences; or,
Stop drinking and avoid the negative consequences.
Which do you want?
