Sometimes getting drunk mid day seems just the tonic for me. Drink too much too late and your sleep is nuked, drink mid day and most of the effects seem out of my system by the time I go to bed.

For me it's a good way to reset myself back to some baseline. Probably not healthy I'm sure, but I don't think life is a competition to see who can live the most perfectly, so I don't worry about it too much.
