Why many writers drink

Back when I was a full time editor, which included a lot of writing, I found a drink or two before bed stopped the narrative, allowing me to get to sleep instead of writing all night and then being useless at my job the next day. Mind you, this was in the 90s, when HR brought the drinks trolley down to the big conference room every Friday at 3pm, and the boss usually took us all out for drinks at 5 to keep the party going. Fun times, but not necessarily productive.
