Drunk in the Town Square

Alcohol Addiction” shows a drunk man in the town plaza toying with the idea of another swig.  His indifference to his environment, lack of judgement suggests he is drunk.  However his body language with an outstretched arm holding the bottle and the other hand pointed in another direction may suggest, at least idealistically, symbolically and hopefully subconsciously, that he realises he could go one of two ways “Decision time” he says to himself – “on the one hand I could take a swig .. Yet on the other I may take a different and more healthful course”
