>needing to drink before work is awful
I drank pretty casually in college (the place I went was pretty hard on the academics and more into pretty much every drug other than alcohol), but set the arbitrary rule for myself not to drink before 5pm, before I was even 21. And I had a really great gf who limited me to 2 drinks if we were at home after I graduated, seeing that I occasionally went overboard and wasn't very fun when uninhibited. That didn't work out... Then I ditched the drinking before 5 rule when I was living alone for awhile on days without school or work. Then some really bad shit happened and I started drinking when I woke up, which was really the tipping point (I'm probably 28 around this point), but I wasn't working or going to school at that time. Moved back home (not really home, just where my parents moved after I moved out) a couple years ago and tried to cut down, and was able to go three non-consecutive days in a week once without having a drink. Got a job and pretty quickly started drinking as soon as I got home and as soon as I woke up again. I'm technically functional and rent my own place, but I've probably reached my new low when I started keeping a bottle in the car so I could drink before/during the drive home from work.
