English Idiom: Drown your sorrows
People have problems. Some people can healthily handle these issues while others feel they have to drown their sorrows.
You see, when people take this course of action, it means that they drink a lot of alcohol to help them forget their problems. In other words, they try to find relief at the bottom of a bottle.
It doesn’t work though because sorrows can swim. The problem with drowning your sorrows is that the solution is only temporary.
Yes, when you’re three sheets to the wind, you feel pretty good about everything. Then the next day you wake up, and all of the pain comes flooding back again.
I don’t have a recommendation on how to deal with troubling issues in your life, but I can tell you that drowning your sorrows is not a solution at all.
