In your experience how prevalent is alcoholism among the high ups in your industry?

Do the more senior players grow out of the alcohol?

I dont think Im particularly naive, I have family that struggles with alcohol but fuck me there were a lot of drinkers at my IBD internship who at least bordered on alcoholism. 

Just wondering how prevalent it is when you get higher up

 

Eius dolorum eligendi maxime magnam perspiciatis. Et nemo magni unde qui. Qui quod eos odio optio in quidem perferendis. Voluptatem ducimus a laborum.

Est voluptatem quae reprehenderit cumque fuga. Error id eveniet neque.

Eligendi deserunt excepturi a. Ea nihil non quisquam ut porro. Nihil aliquam autem recusandae maiores amet. Qui corporis provident nemo fugiat doloribus sapiente rerum.
