Many people tries to escape from problems that they might have in a house, school, work, or even with a boyfriend/girlfriend. Like in general everybody gets into drugs. Many people tries to get rid off that problems that sorrounded us. But the drugs all what it does is kill us in the inside. "The gin was served out to them in handleless china mugs," (pg 44). People nowadays sees it as a habit or just because of peer pressure. In 1984, the government tries and erase their memories or how they felt in the inside by giving them a cup of gin during lunch. Why many people dont just face their own problems and leave all the drugs aside.
