This reminds me of a friend of mine, who was also hell bent on drinking himself to a standstill. Despite help from the company he worked for and all his friends, he just seemed in a way doomed, I think.
I still believe he drank that much because he was socially inept. He could only really start interacting after a couple of drinks. He often said he drank to make people interesting.
I have not seen him in many years but I always give street beggars a second look, because somehow I thought that that is where he would end up....
