Their life was planned and written.
To me it seems alcoholism is a dependence on something that for 'most people' is just a social experience when they may have a few drinks at the weekend or at some function or other and it's not out of control.
Self control costs nothing and is down to an individual. Nobody forces people to become obese by eating too many cakes or junk food, like the saying 'you dig your grave with your teeth'. Or in these cases 'I'll pickle my liver and die regardless.'
!!!The waterfall will carry on though!!!
