A man who drinks too much on occasion is still the same man as he was sober. An alcoholic, a real alcoholic, is not the same man at all. You can’t predict anything about him for sure except that he will be someone you never met before.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) American novelist
The Long Goodbye (1954)
