Do you think..


..Ben started drinking because his wife left him or his wife left him because of his drinking. Obviously we don't know but if I had to guess I would say his wife left him because of his drinking.

What do you think?


There is only a split second between existing and being a mere memory.

His wife left because she'd had enough of his drinking.
They also had a young Son, so she would have had a good reason to pack up the family and leave, and the drinking is motivation #1. I got the impression that Ben was a longtime drinker. His friends knew he was a drunk, so did his colleagues. His career was washed up, and everyone in his life had had enough.
So the next step was to drink himself to death.
