Being "two drinks short of sober" (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)
is a symptom of Attention Deficit. That is why alcoholism used to be
a major occupational hazard for newspaper writers, among others. I
consider myself very fortunate that I discovered how to activate the
rest of my brain using math and programming, among other things,
rather than "inappropriate self-medication".
