Angle one: what [mind-altering] means is that you're not you anymore. It's an act of self-negation. If you can't socialize while sober, you can't socialize, only someone else can. To drink is to quit trying to learn social skills, to accept that, for you, it's impossible.
If you try sobriety, especially over many years, you feel alive. Even in the short term, booze deadens the senses. Partial annihilation is total annihilation of a part.
But, rather, drinkers are already dead. A special case of all mortals already being dead. They use booze to harmonize the physical with the spiritual.
Ethanol kills brain cells. Symbolically, it turns you into a zombie. Progressively, you become the zombie you were always meant to be.
If sobriety is a burden, it means you're tired of living. Perhaps stop beating around the bush, and seek Canadian Healthcare. Set an onsen appointment with the toaster.

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
