Description: "Sometimes, for some people, things don't work out as they might have hoped". 16 Years of Alcohol is the story's of a man's desperate attempt to free himself, not only from alcoholic addiction, but also to overcome his violent nature, basic mistrust in human nature and ferociously anti-social conduct. Growing up with a father who is himself an excessive womaniser and brute who both fascinated and repelled his son, he turns into a vicious gang leader who beats up friends and enemies alike.
