And then eventually, their drinking starts affecting their working lives negatively. In the meantime, functioning alcoholics can ignore their problem and go under the illusion that they'll always get away with it because they always have before. Gary's kind of alcoholism, i.e. non-functioning, shows almost straight away how ugly it gets if he's drinking alcohol, so he is forced to sober up and stay on the wagon, or go under fast.</p></blockquote><p></p>
