An anatomy of alcoholism, a dogged, shattering study of the periodic drinker destroying himself knowingly, wilfully. Over a period of five days, this is the hyperbola of the drunken tear, from the first day of indulgence in illusions, in power, in grandeur, to the shame of the next morning, and the desperate need for the hair-of-the-dog, on to submersion, sodden dreams, and eventually delirium.
