Waiting for the binge

Binge drinking is something that allows a person to forget for a while and then get on with their lives. They can look forward to the weekend or whenever when they can anaesthetise their souls for a while and forget how painful it is to be alive. After the weekend they can recover from the effects of the binge and then survive till the next binge by looking forward to the next "good time". There is a problem with this lifestyle because people can do things that they won't recover from during the binge, things that will ruin the rest of their lives.
