Alcohol and Creativity

It’s sad to realize that some of my best works come from after I’ve been drinking. The pattern seems to be similar amongst most creatives, not even from just the advertising realm. This pattern of self-destruction for the sake of inspiration is dangerous. I realize it even now but know that it’s unavoidable should I continue to move forward in this industry.

I value sobriety, but how long will I maintain the mentality: ‘do whatever it takes to succeed?’

Do you view me as weak for relying on things external to achieve success?
