“I would often awaken after a drunken night of debauchery with pangs of guilt and remorse. These feelings were quickly and seamlessly replaced by the narcissistic rationalization that I was really a good guy. It was because I was so drunk that my moral compass didn’t work. It was the alcohol - not me.”
So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
— Ernest Hemingway
He does absurd, incredible, tragic things while drinking. He is a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. […] His disposition while drinking resembles his normal nature but little.
