[Michael takes the mug, but doesn't drink just yet. The warmth of it is nice, especially in here. Hard to believe there's an inferno raging not far away.]
It's pretty normal where I'm from, too. The drinking part. It's not too uncommon for people to go overboard, either. I'm not really into it myself, but I can see the draw.
[He got blackout drunk exactly once, and he almost told a cop he'd just killed someone. Not his finest hour. Besides, he's always been about a very different kind of self-medication.]
I'll be honest, my coping mechanisms aren't exactly healthy, either. [They're a collective mess, oops. But this half (2/3?) of the collective mess, at least, has had people try to help him.] But I've heard that other people, uh. Meditate? Or do a lot of physical activity? Do either of those sound remotely appealing?
