"In some circumstances we have gone out deliberately to get drunk,
feeling ourselves justified by nervousness, anger, worry,
depression, jealousy or the like. But even in this type of beginning
we are obliged to admit that our justification for a spree was
insanely insufficient in the light of what always happened. We now
see that when we began to drink deliberately, instead or casually,
there was little serious or effective thought during the period of
premeditation of what the terrific consequences might be."
