Roger Ebert Zitate

Why do alcoholics begin down the same hazardous road day after day? They are in search of that elusive window of well-being that opens when you drink your way out of a hangover and aren't yet drunk all over again. The alcoholic's day consists of trying to keep that window open.

Warum fangen Alkoholiker Tag für Tag auf derselben gefährlichen Straße an? Sie sind auf der Suche nach dem schwer fassbaren Fenster des Wohlbefindens, das sich öffnet, wenn Sie sich aus einem Kater trinken und noch nicht wieder betrunken sind. Der Tag des Alkoholikers besteht darin zu versuchen, dieses Fenster offen zu halten.
