I absolutely love how the music goes with the rhythm of his binge. While he's drinking it's a steady driving pace, but during the recovery periods when he's down it's only half as fast. The first two nights it takes him 8 measures to recover and start it up again. On that third night is when he's lost, and it takes 12 measures of recovery. Plus the solo section which is back at the original tempo reflects that he has to drink that much more to get rolling again. After that, he's probably drowning. I don't think there's a happy ending here.
