So I started drinking to get drunk.” He soon discovered that he needed alcohol to enjoy himself. Then he drank whenever he needed a confidence boost at parties. Surprisingly, booze also helped him perform better at work—or so he imagined. “I began drinking before going to meetings,” he recalled, “and everyday after work. I seemed to do everything better after a few drinks.” He says young consumers of booze drink for the same reasons. “Especially at carnival time,” he said, “you see how the young boys and girls carry on? I used to do the same thing.”
