Well it could be that for sure or it could be that trying to get stuff done while drunk/hungover is not generally productive. My sister reminded me that workaholism often goes hand in hand with alcoholism. Partly as a way to fund the drinking and partly as an alternative "mind alteration". It's easier to keep your mind off pain/worry/shame etc if you are busy. He's also a big worrier and stress monkey, so if he has a heavy deadline he has to medicate his anxiety, which of course makes it more difficult to meet the deadline.
I have spent 16 years trying to diagnose what's up with him, unless he wakes up and realises that there IS something wrong and that he's not just a hard-working guy with a slut of a wife who's entitled to a few beers to wind down then he's never going to change. There is no point me saying he suffers from ADD, Alcoholism, Anxiety disorder or whatever. The only thing for me to know is that his lifestyle is making us all miserable and there isn't a snowball's chance in he!! that he's going to listen to my opinion about it. The cage must be rattled and rattled good.
