Dorothy gave me a lot of vocabulary, but the words that stuck were those she used conversationally, in direct address, like the time I arrived panting and she asked, "Διψάς;" ( Dipsás ?) I knew that a dipsomaniac was someone with an insatiable thirst, but to hear Dorothy use the verb διψάω in the second-person singular present tense and match it with my parched throat felt like a revelation.

A total of 3.3 million deaths (5.9% of all deaths) are believed to be due to alcohol. Alcoholism reduces a person's life expectancy by approximately ten years. Many terms, some insulting and others informal, have been used to refer to people affected by alcoholism; the expressions include tippler, drunkard, dipsomaniac and souse. In 1979, the World Health Organization discouraged the use of "alcoholism" due to its inexact meaning, preferring "alcohol dependence syndrome".

The novel also contains a scabrous portrait of poet Austin Clarke as the dipsomaniac Austin Ticklepenny, given to unreciprocated 'genustuprations' of Murphy under the table; against Oliver St. John Gogarty's advice, Clarke declined to sue.

What he turns to instead is nothingness, and his ashes are dumped in a trash can after immolating himself with the assistance of gas in his bedroom at the hospital. Celia also discovers the beauty of nothingness, as she loses her love, Murphy, and her grandfather's health declines.

Sunil has a quixotic nature when it comes to damsels in distress, which happens only too often. He is a man in his 30s, who is willing to go any lengths in pursuit of justice, mostly with help of his best friend Ramakant Malhotra, a dipsomaniac and owner of a club called Youth Club. His attempts to protect the innocent often result in Sunil ending up on the wrong side of the law, bringing him face to face with Inspector Prabhudayal, the exceptionally strict and incorruptible officer in charge of the homicide division of the Rajnagar Police. The "philosopher" detective Sudhir Kumar Kohli is the protagonist of Pathak's Sudhir Series, all narrated in the first person.

Apomorphine was one of the earliest used pharmacotherapies for alcoholism. The Keeley Cure (1870s to 1900) contained apomorphine, among other ingredients, but the first medical reports of its use for more than pure emesis come from James Tompkins and Charles Douglas. Tompkins reported, after injection of 6.5 mg ("one tenth of a grain"): > In four minutes free emesis followed, rigidity gave way to relaxation, > excitement to somnolence, and without further medication the patient, who > before had been wild and delirious, went off into a quiet sleep. Douglas saw two purposes for apomorphine: > [it can be used to treat] a paroxysm of dipsomania [an episode of intense > alcoholic craving]... in minute doses it is much more rapidly efficient in > stilling the dipsomaniac craving than strychnine or atropine… Four or even > 3m [minim – roughly 60 microlitres] of the solution usually checks for some > hours the incessant demands of the patient… when he awakes from the > apomorphine sleep he may still be demanding alcohol, though he is never then > so insistent as before.

Towards the end of his term of office, Manson's life declined into alcoholism; he was drunk at Board meetings and on one occasion was wrapped in a blanket and carried out after he had fallen onto the floor. He suffered a public blow to his prestige, when a staff member wrote in a catalogue that the French artist Utrillo was dead and had been "a confirmed dipsomaniac"—neither of which was true—leading to a court case with Manson named as defendant; settlement in court on 17 February 1938 included the Tate purchase of an Utrillo painting. Hotel George V in Paris On 4 March 1938, Manson attended a dinner organised by Kenneth Clark at the Hotel George V in Paris to celebrate the British Exhibition taking place at the Louvre museum. Clive Bell recorded the eventualities in a letter to his wife: > Manson arrived at the déjeuner given by the minister of Beaux Arts > fantastically drunk—punctuated the ceremony with cat-calls and cock-a- > doodle-doos, and finally staggered to his feet, hurled obscene insults at > the company in general and the minister in particular, and precipitated > himself on the ambassadress, Lady Phipps, some say with amorous intent > others with lethal intent.
