Madurai: "First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you" - This particular quote by American author Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald highlights the stages of alcohol consumption.

In a video, which went viral on social media, a man, completely in an intoxicated state, was seen dozing peacefully in a 'live' drain, while the locals tried waking him up.
"The man must have had stumbled into the drainage after consuming alcohol and passed out," said an onlooker.
Such sight is a testament to the widespread problem of alcoholism in Tamil Nadu, where most people are addicted to alcohol regardless of their age, opined few bystanders.
