Elegantly Wasted
Tom was an alcoholic. First thing every morning he made himself an extremely dry martini: straight gin, but in a martini glass to feel classy. In the evening, he put on a tuxedo and drank champagne. Not sparkling wine. The French stuff.
Tom worked downtown. He took long lunches at the club and came back to the office smelling of mint and tangerine. He was a partner, so no one ever complained. Not to his face.
Tom considered himself a functioning alcoholic.
His ex-wife and her phalanx of lawyers considered Tom a threat to harm himself and those around him.
