No question of it
there are loads of high-functioning alcoholics in the world. Churchill was the most famous one that springs to mind.

I've known many who opted for the short life route, and found them to be an excellent deterrent. Amy Winehouse is well on her way there even now. Personally I would not wish to go that route.

Does your wife think it's okay if you destroy yourself in this way? Do you have kids? Your family really needs to have some input into this, unless you don't value them at all. They might prefer it if you stuck around and stayed healthy.

Not enough info at this point, really. I just don't agree with a long, slow suicide. But it's your life, and you're free to go to hell however you wish.
