Problem drinking begins with emotions. The desire to have "just the one" to relax after work. The turning to a bottle of wine when things are going wrong and you're feeling stressed. The big special days, such as birthdays and Christmas, which wouldn't be the same without a drink. We wrongly believe that we can't have fun without a drink, won't relax without a drink, won't be ourselves without a drink. Meanwhile, this error is wreaking havoc with...

Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in 'Bright Lights, Big City'. He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. 'Diary of an Oxygen Thief' is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.
