Derrick/Dirge,
I can totally understand why you want to drown the sorrows, I probably would too, I'm that way inclined. And believe me, I do know the feelings you must struggle with now.
Anywho, yeah, I think you should 'relieve' your body and mind of the sorrow the way that suits you. If that's by drinking till you drop, so be it.
The only thing I'd like you to be clear on, is NEVER DRINK ALONE!
Not when dealing with the kind of stuff you're doing now.
Drink with your buddies, family or even with the stranger at the pub, but not by yourself. Not now.
Take the time you usually spent with Kath and spend it with someone else. They will certainly appreciate it, and I think you'll be better off too.
It's true what they say, share your troubles with someone, and it becomes half the trouble...
best wishes for you buddy
