nice quote. it's funny & appropriate. at the same time though i think the surface level tale hides the likelier realer truth.

the drunk isnt just ashamed of his drunkenness, he's ashamed he's not something else entirely, ashamed for all the wishes & dreams he's not. a realler life has past the drunkard by.

to borrow a random quote found a couple comments away, from a german band Die Toten Hosen, "no alcohol is no solution either".
