Alexander the Impectious numbskull & First Class Idiot

[Paralus]

G'day Nicator.I think that by the time of his death Alexander was an alcoholic - or at the very least demonstrating the final stages of being on the edge of the alcohol abyss.As with all cases (and Kenny is better placed than me to comment) there are various reasons that will lead a person to this place. Your cogent example is one - and one that applied from early adulthood on and increased as time went by. Chefs are uncommonly afflicted with this due to the nexus between cooking and alcohol (wine). This was Alexander's nexus.Either way, I think there's little doubt that if Alexander had not quite reached that place, he had the front door key in his had and said key well and truly inserted. All that remained was turning the tumblers.Paralus.
