Charles Bukowski, the American cult writer, talks about various topics such as writing, sex and drink.
For many people who are caught out of place and time in our society, drink is not a slow form of suicide but a deterrent from it. Drink is the only music and dance they are allowed. The last cheap and available miracle. When I came in from the slaughterhouse or the parts factory, the bottle of wine was my god in the sky. - Bukowski on Wine.
