Alcoholic – Homebrew This song really helped to picture the life of a man stuggling with alcoholism/being an alcoholic. The song explains how he ended up as an alcoholic, his struggles with day to day life trying to become sober, and the consequences of not being sober and giving into the temptation of alcohol.
The writer blames his parents for the way that he has acted around alcohol, “ I’m guessin that this happened like a pattern and a problem cause my father’s a fiend and so was mum so its somethin’ like part of my genes” and “ might as well just start the day with a glass of chardonnay like my dad does thinking that time can never catch us”, the writer believes that his genetics caused him to be an alcoholic, but also that his fathers habit of drinking chardonnay first thing in the morning has led him to believe it is normal.
I think it is very logical for the writer to blame his parents for this, especially the fathers bad habit of drinking chardonnay in the morning, as children are meant to learn from their parents, this is what the writer has learnt from his father.
This is all relevant to families all over the world, as in every culture children are influenced by their parents actions, and if their parents are heavy drinkers then it’s normal for their children to believe that large quanties of alcohol consumption is normal which in many cases leads to alcoholism.
The writer continues to write about the struggles of trying to be sober “ it’s been about a week now I’m startin’ to get weak now I wake up at 11:30 that’s when I start getting thirsty”, after only a week of being without alcohol, life is getting unbearable and he is starting to feel week, getting the urges to consume alcohol as soon as he wakes up in the late morning.
“all I know there’s a bottle in the fridge with my name on it if I want it” and “but it’s hard to get clean but its hard to sustain” – the writer finds it hard to continue being sober when he knows that there will always be a bottle of alcohol somewhere to turn to, if he decides he wants it. I really do feel for the writer, as he has a serious problem, and is clearly struggling with day to day life trying to stay sober.
The constant repitition of the line “’cause I’m an alcoholic and I know it” is the writer trying to justify his actions, which is common for alcoholics to do. I do sympathise and unstand the writer, as alcoholism is a disease, yet I believe he gives up too easy and gets himself into un-needed trouble which relates to the youth in New Zealand.
The youth in New Zealand begin drinking alcohol at an early age, which is some cases leads to alcoholism causing many teenagers and young adults to get into trouble with the law as the writer soon explains as he finally gives into the urges of drinking alcohol “ I woke up Friday morning lying on the floor in a one man cell” & “ and now I’m on probation, I’m getting rehabilitation”.
This is explaining the consequences of heavy drinking, which is a common thing in New Zealand and many other countries. Heavy drinking can lead to serious consequences such as ending up in jail, on probation and rehab as the writer has mentioned. I feel like this song explains the stuggles of alcoholism, which is a huge problem in many countries and needs to be taken more seriously. Alcoholism is a disease and needs to be treated like one so that sufferers of the disease get the help they need to stop them from getting into trouble.
