....Drinking may be viewed perhaps the most pragmatic prudent??? moderate??? ways to answer Hamlet's question in the negative. Suicide requires decisiveness, commitment and courage. Drugs put one at odds with society. But alcohol allows one to diminish the intensity of all psychological functions in a temporary and controlled fashion.... A drink or two or three enables one to say a quiet yet firm no to being as such.
