- Dissatisfaction with family life, low self -esteem, excessive demands of the wife, tense work environment, personality weakness - push a man to withdraw from responsibilities temporarily with the help of intoxicating drinks. Drinking for an indefinite period delays the moment of decision -making, dulls the feeling of reality, the emerging feeling of joy, peace, the stimulus of relaxation pouring into the glass more often.
