“The first drink, for me anyway, brings about a significant change in emotional state. I've come to realise that each subsequent drink represents an attempt to replicate that glorious change of state the first drink achieved. This endeavour is futile; I've laboured in vain, because each drink brings about a smaller change of state.”
