Journalists do tend to like their booze. This is not just a stereotype. From my experience with both family members in the field and seeing kids jump righ in out of college, it's very nearly an epidemic. Remember though that many of us are on the clock 10 hours a day min. even in small towns with small beats. The national reporters must have livers of steel.
Me, I like legally prescribed anxiety meds. But I am an outsider (and a realitive newb).
