It was really an interesting movie, which deeply touched me. In my eyes the movie didnt want to show the negative aspects about drinking alcohol in first place but showcased human sorrow, loneliness and boredom of every day life.
Drinking alcohol was their way of handling stress at work, unhappy marriages and to drown their feelings of inadequacy and low self worth in it.
It was heartbreaking for me to watch how the four men slipped down the path of self destruction, eventhough some of them managed to get out of it.
But apart from all of this the movie managed to convey some kind of hope, because all this negative feelings wont stay forever and somehow life will go on, regardless of the outcome.
I also think this movie portrays really well the inability of many men to handle emotional pain. But its not even the fault of the men themselves, but societys failure to raise young boys and men, who deals with emotional hardships in a more healthy way...
