“Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall…drinking is a form of suicide where you’re allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day.”
Interview with London Magazine, 1975 – Charles Bukowski
