Even if I did just drink at the night time I could go from sober to blotto in 2 hours and then would spend the next day ill if not a few days, so for those 2 hours I would spend much longer suffering. Looking at it objectively it's not worth it but on the rare occasion I do get the night to myself it's hard to see it to the end because the lure of getting drunk on my own with no one around is very tempting.
Exactly, Charlie. I think the fact that it is so rare for us to be alone makes it even more tempting. Like its an "opportunity" to drink, so why waste it. Which, of course, is ridiculous.
