Thought Catalog serves up a deeply unhinged anecdote where rock legends discovered intravenous alcohol because regular drinking wasn't sufficiently deranged. The quote attempts redemptive self-awareness—a guy realizing he's circling the drain—but the framing treats catastrophic addiction like a quirky life hack. It's the internet's favorite genre: destructive behavior wrapped in reflective wisdom, perfectly calibrated to make readers feel smarter for consuming it.
