    Of course it does. I drew a distinction where there is none. Thrashing about in alcoholism is no more demon driven than embracing abuse at the hands of others. I still believe that the hard-boiled tradition excludes characters who give themselves over to the abuse of others, but I rode the wrong horse as I tried to make my point.
