Dry

 There is such a thing as a sober bottom, and the way down to it can be quite stressful to everyone.  A sober bottom is when you are no longer drinking insanely, but you are not yet dealing with all the problems for which you drank in the first place.  People drink to escape.  The alcohol is the transportation by which they run away from themself.  They live an “untreated” life.  Part of the insanity of this life is that they don’t realize they are insane and addicted.  They just keep doing impulsive and stupid stuff that hurts them and others.  For many, the bottom is not hit until death.  Lots of damage to them and others along the way.
