There's a piece of dialogue from a show I really like which has stuck with me for years.
---
Person 1: "Is everyone out here really so lifeless?"
Person 2: "Yes. Yes we are. That's why we drink."
Person 1: "Well, I drank just fine before."
Person 2: "Yeah, because your world was so overwhelming and scary and you needed a break from it all. Now, you're going to drink because each day is so goddamn dull, and that takes a lot more booze."
