I am from Russia, Western Siberia to be exact (no, it’s not that bad ). My husband and I have lived
in Asheville since 2004 and absolutely love it here! In 2015 we became parents to a baby boy, Dmitry (named after my grandfather). And in January 2020 Dmitry became a big brother to Katya. We share our home with 2 dogs: Puma and Romeo, who are a pitbull and a jack russell (no, it’s not that bad 😆 ).

You are hilarious. I’ve lived in Asheville for 25 years and all the info is correct. I am Vegan, drive a Prius, have a dog...
😂😂😂 I mean that’s how we like it here right? I’ve lived here for 16 years and by now have my own baggage of ideas about living in Asheville
You are a life saver! Thank you for all your concise and precious informational videos!
Great information and spot on. You covered just about everything that makes Asheville unique and complicated!
Thank you 😊
Thanks Elena. As always you've given yet another great video and honest outlook..It's really appreciated....Nice to know there might be life beyond Southern Ca for us long time animal loving vegans!!..Looking forward to visiting and seeing how it all feels in the future.Great chatting with you the other day. Best to you and the family .Be safe..
Thank you Richie😁😁
@Richard Deluca Hi, have you moved? I'm a 17 yr vegan, in Anaheim, considering the move!
I have lived here for 10 yrs and just recently joined the Subaru family 🙌 This was such a thorough video. Everything you mentioned was so very correct and necessary for people considering a move here. I have heard of cutting through the Parkway to avoid traffic. I think I am finally ready to give that a shot!
Thank you! And sounds like you are ready for winter))
Thank you!! Saved my vacation. Love that ur brutally honest.
Thank you for watching!
I was so impressed by your presentation, thank you.
Thank you so much, I’m moving there in a few months for college and this helps a lot !!
You are welcome, good luck with the move!
This is the BEST video I have seen on "Things you should know..." about any place. Quite enjoyed it! Planning a move to the SE in the spring and checking out options. Will be visiting Asheville in 1.5 weeks!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it!
Your videos are so helpful and informative, Elena, I can't get enough of them! And I can't wait to move to Asheville next month! :)
I'm so glad! Reach out if you have any questions!
Great Video! Thank you. We'll be in Asheville in a few days to check out the area. Staying downtown, have all of our dinner reservations (Plant is one of them. Booked it a month ago!) and can't wait! If we decide to make the big move from Florida, we'll definitely give you a call!
Thank you!
Yes, some restaurants are impossible to get in last minute:)
Enjoy!
I agree with every point you outlined. Very accurate. The man dressed as a nun used to ride a unicycle, it was so high in the air! He downsized for safety.😅
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great info, thanks! Lol on Siberia. I'm from Colorado, so snow is not such a big deal.
😆😆🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video was super-instructive, and it has saved me from making a costly mistake. Thanks so much for making it! I'll look forward to visiting the town soon!
Oh! Well good:)
At age 21 I moved to Asheville from Miami in 1992 and lived there until 2001. I fell in love and made life long friends. My friends tell me that Asheville is nothing I would recognize now. Heard it's way expensive and overcrowded. Planning a vacation soon, I hope I won't be disappointed.
Don’t get your hopes up, but i do hope you get to have good time here. Of course it’s different than 10,15,20 years ago. Nothing stays the same, except maybe Burnsville 😁
Thanks for the video😉
😁🙏🏻
This is great information.
Thank you
Best video so far
😁
Love this video. Thank you. My mom lives in Hickory and I wanted to move closer to her but didn’t find anything too appealing about the major cities in NC, I do however enjoy all of the outdoors activities to do there. Then I finally gave Asheville a little research. Coming from Austin I know exactly what you mean when you step out of the city limits, as soon as you drive out of Austin, you’re basically back in Texas. I love that Asheville has a huge lgbtq community. I wanted to be in a city that wasn’t too big, and wasn’t too small town-ish either.
Thank you for the feedback! So have you visited here yet?
I have. It really reminds me of a mini-Austin. Asheville in the fall is really what sold me. It’s just sooo beautiful.
It is!!
Omg please give me more info! I’ve been in Austin for 10 years and i miss the small town vibes which is what is bringing me to this video. What has been your experience?!
Excellent video. I was born in Asheville and grew up there. I have lived outside the state for many years but inherited my parents home east of Asheville and am looking forward to moving back. PS. You are a charming lady.
Thank you for your comment! And East Asheville is my probably favorite part)))
Coming from Philadelphia, everything about Asheville sounds amazing.
😁😁
It's so funny you say that! I live in NJ and I'm sitting here thinking to myself "a lot of this sounds like philly." Lol Philly has a different type of people but we love you all the more for it!
Hi Elena, please excuse my bad english. I'm 58 years old and still learning... Thank you for all of your great videos about Ashville. I'm going to visit Charlotte and Ashville in May 22, if Mr. Biden will open the border. I had planned the trip for 2020 and 2021, but thanks to covid I had to postpone everything. But at that time I didn't know your Videos, so next year, I will be much better prepared. Thank you, I'm very excited.
So correct!
😁😁😁
Thank you 😊
You are welcome!
Wow! I commented on another video of yours and this one has answered so many questions! As I commented previously, we are arriving around the 6th of September. It's coming up so quickly!!! The drive will be long, but we cannot wait to begin exploring Asheville and all it has to offer. Are there any local pet groups, shelters, or rescues I should look into? I am a licensed vet tech and will be pursuing a job there in that field. I also love to be involved in local organizations that aid the community in pet health and owner education.
Hi Heather!
I hope you have great time exploring the area!
Here are some links to local groups:

Hope this helps, good luck to you!
Thank you for putting together such an awesome list. I'm born and raised in NYC and looking to possibly move away when I retire next year (2021). Asheville NC is on my list of options, but with all of the civil unrest going on around the country, I don't know where is safe for a person of color. So sad :-(
You really gotta come and see for yourself! Asheville is a southern town... with a very liberal vibe!
As a person of color you should not be worried in the least bit about moving to Aville. This is really what I HATE about America, people make so many ridiculous assumptions about the south. Aville is probably the most tolerant places for a black person to live. I am an American but I will NEVER move back to that hell hole called America. However I will say if you had to move somewhere in the south to get out of the hell hole that has become NYC, a place I lived and worked in for many years, I say go for it girl. Aville will treat you properly nice.I simply prefer living in Copenhagen Denmark as I can leave my doors unlocked without some meth head or crack dealer breaking my door down. Good luck America, your gonna need it!!!
I've been looking into Asheville for years, need to make the trip there, made a trip to cary and surrounding areas years ago, loved it, although being in private practice and thinking about starting all over again was the deciding factor in not moving, however, now looking at retirement my site is on Asheville again, not the city itself more like 15-20m away from the city. Can you recommend surround areas? Also looking for a min of 2 acres. Thanks
Hendersonville area, Mills River, Brevard, Waynesville, Weaverville, Leicester, Alexander, Black Mountain, Fairview. If you want to go farther, then Burnsville, Old Fort, Maggie Valley, Lake Junaluska, Mars Hill, Marshall, Hot Springs- all more rural areas.
I am so glad I found this video and how honest you are. This is the first one I have watched from you and I will be binging more. Last summer I stayed in an Air BnB just outside of Asheville and fell in love. From mountains to art. I have been looking for "that place" as I am a recent college grad and sometimes it just clicks and then you see signs regarding it, directing you on your path. I am a vegetarian, online business owner, animal loving, eco conscious recent college grad from Upstate New York and I am excited to do more investigating.
I'm just seeing your comment, it's been held for review((..Thank you for watching.
I was driving home after being in the area. 26 North form Hendersonville to Asheville was crazy
It can be a bit…tight lol
It all sounds good to me! I live in Maine and am vegan. I’m hoping to sell my home here and find a home and RN job there for a more mild winter.
Winters here are super mild! And so are summers, that's why we love it here. Medical field is one of the biggest employers in the area too. Good luck to you!
What are the the hangups on moving to Marlboro North Carolina.. could you do a video on this area??
Never been there🤷🏻♀️
Oops. I have an MBZ SUV 🚙 but it’s not new. I’ve visited Asheville a couple of times and found the people welcoming and very helpful. Looking at moving here or near here. I’m retired so not looking for childcare or job.
Honestly we didn’t have a 4WD for the longest time, and were just fine. Just be more careful and don’t try to test it when you know the snow is coming down.
That seems like a perfect place for me. I'm vegan, I don't like flashy things. I love mountains and I hate snow. Those roads will be just perfect for me as I'm a biker too and they're the best for motorcycles. I've heard only about great things from you. It might be hard to start as it seems to be expensive tho.
I agree, it does seem like a perfect town for me as well and I can't wait to move next month! I think the cost of living is relative, I'll be coming from Miami where my $2000 studio just went up to $2300 so I will save a few hundred dollars on rent even with a larger apartment (even though there is a state income tax which we don't have in FL so my salary will be lower). And on top of that I'll be in a place with like-minded people; the flashiness is exactly what I am trying to get away from!
Excellent video. Your videos are very helpful!
Does asheville have any beautiful places to take photos? Something natural and beautiful or photogenic or jokingly (LOL), instagram-worthy? I have seen Biltmore Villages and went to Beaver Lake, when I came to visit. Since Asheville is very hilly, are there any overlooks that are open to the public where I can go and take a photo of the entire city or parts of the city? I know Boone has "Howards Knob County Park" where you can see almost parts of the city.
Thank you! There are a lot of overlooks and beautiful places. Grove Park inn overlooks downtown.

@@livinginashevillenc Thank you, very much. This was really helpful. I love your videos and will always be a fan of your videos. Thank you for the instagram link.
@@kvan4385 Thank you for the kind words!
You are adorable!
Moving there in a month!!! So excited 🤩🌿💚
Yay. Where are you moving from?
@@livinginashevillenc orlando, Florida!
Lizzy Turner escaping the heat 😎
Just remember the more people that move here the more it becomes like the place you left. Do yourself a favor make several trips here before moving here and remember this lady sales property so of course it's great.
Thank you for your comment. I suppose you are new to my channel to make the assumption
Don't think it's an assumption.
You assume I only portray it as a great place - so yes, assumption.
ive lived in ashville all my life and all checks out can you do woodfin????
I talked about Woodfin in this video ua-cam.com/video/BlP9xJfPu6U/v-deo.html
There's a happy medium somewhere. It's ok to be different, it's ok to not be different. The choice is what I'm looking for! Maybe N. Carolina is it.
From?
Living in Asheville NC look far west..... Oregon.
Please don't bring anymore progressive politics here. We've really had enough. Also, ashville is not typical of NC. The rest of the state is salt of the earth non politically psychological progressives
Here's a tip, the reason to avoid patton is if you cant drive.when you're lane ends dont just get over and cut people off, give a signal if you are turning off,if you drive a long beside someone trying to get over we cant see you are signaling ,its not hard to get over without causing a wreck because you cant think ahead,most people will let you over,(if they are native) if you drive patton and you are entitled it's best to avoid it.
Good tip
Cool visited Yukutia before lol
nope
Unfortunately the pandemic has put all this on hold. However, I've now lived here 40 years and love it. If you buy a home even a bit outside the city limits (I live in the Erwin Hills area) you can get one for considerably less.
Yep
What would you say how the spa industry does in Ashville?
Also, are their smaller, near by walking towns equal to ashville nearby?
Well, right now spa industry is not in the best position. Generally people like this kind of stuff.
Hendersonville, Waynesville, Black Mountain are smaller (small) towns that have very cute and walkable downtowns and some surrounding areas. Hendersonville is the second largest town in WNC after Asheville.
Living in Asheville NC thank you!
Thank you so much for saying to avoid south asheville. Lived here since '05 and I-26 has always sucked. #Marshall #NorwoodPark #MtCarmel #Vegan
Well that’s the truth!
Thank you for the videos, Elena, I've watched many. Great to know veganism thrives there! 🙌❤️🙌
Yes, there's quite a few options for vegans here, considering the size of Asheville.
Take heed to 10, 11, Schools close during the snow because of the dangerous roads...oh she mentioned that, my bad. The town told my family to sell our bar to the City bc it was attracting a bad crowd, then let's 200 bars open downtown ten years later. Everything else is a little overblown
Wow. After watching this video, you couldn't pay me a million dollars to move to that place. Geographically beautiful and all the positives stop there...
Well good
Send me the million then and I’ll be there in a month. I think it sounds amazing. Coming to visit in October! Maybe a scout out trip to eventually move there.
Hmm.. well, I see people's feelings are conflicted as ever about Asheville. I moved to Sylva/Waynesville area because the cost of living has pushed out the locals as it often does when a once unique place gets popular. If you could time travel to the late 90s, early 2000s, you would see what Asheville really was. It was a sort of haven for artistic & and open-minded folk. There was a real sense of community. But sadly most of the local bars, restaurants, businesses, etc, that made it so special are gone, replaced by touristy transplants from NY & FL, among others.
The spiritual aspect of the area is from the energy of these old, weathered mountains. I miss what Asheville was before the boom. So now I remember the nostalgic days long past & hope the area I moved to doesn't endure the same fate.
The crime has also really spiked. For its size, Asheville has garnered one of the highest crime rates & as of 2022, is the most expensive city to live in in NC. As a tourist town, one expects outsiders to want a piece of the pie but honestly, when the city makes decisions to put tourism over people's livelihoods, what did they imagine would come of it? Come to Asheville & find out. Just know it might not be quite what you are expecting.
If your thinking of moving to asheville. Dont people coming here is the reason why the rent is high. Most of the jobs do not pay enough to live on. And the public transportation is trash. Youll be waiting 30 to an hour an half for the bus. Also ive never reached atlanta in 3 hours more like 5
5 hours really? Hmm. 3.5 at the most for me, but maybe that depends if you go with the rush hour
@@livinginashevillenc yes cause it takes me 3 hours to get to Charlotte. Atlanta is almost twice the distance. Unless your 15 mph over the speed limit which legally in nc they can pull your license for that.
She described Asheville to a T. 😊
Thank you. Now that I’m thinking I should have included a couple more things, so maybe next time
I live in n.c.tThe main thing to know about asheville is that......it sucks
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise
Kiss it goodbye
Every area has its "perks"...
Did any of these surprise you?
Speaking of super mild winters...there are cities and towns in Canada that historically enjoy warmer winters than Asheville - as defined by a warmer average winter temperature (December, January, and February).
If you dig a little bit deeper, you'll discover the source for the information (below) is NOAA (a US government agency!). So please copy/paste the following google searches (specifically Google’s search engine!). And don't forget to factor in the ultra-mild Canadian winter nights.
1. Asheville, North Carolina average winter temperatures
2. Race Rocks, Canada average winter temperatures
Are you surprised by the fact the winters are warmer in Race Rocks, Canada than Asheville, North Carolina?
the houses expensive as hell it's ridcoulous
Yep 😕
Asheville is freaking Awesome. I miss home. Wanna buy my TN lake house so I can go back??? House swap? And I am Native, Republican, and I judge no one! No one can judge me. Agree to disagree is my view. Which is the view of all I know!
The “Artsy” makes it amazing, Uhmazing and Aamazing!!! 😂Yes, our native driver’s are the best drivers in the world and we laugh at the folks from the flatlands!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Despite the rumors … the majority of us use deodorant and prefer our Western store bought fragrances! 😘 Asheville’s location is perfect for short distance travel to many fabulous cities! Lastly, the beer venues are great for mingling though I hate the stuff!!😮😊 Don’t knock my Asheville! ❤
We love it here too! Never want to leave
My like is #666, now that's weird too. Thanks for an informative video.
spooky! And you are welcome!
Video officially starts @ 1:36
Thank you for the PSA
From a lifelong resident, it has gotten to be too expensive to live here. It is a tourist trap and she's right about the job situation. Former city government chose to push tourism and forced factories to close.
The infastructure is lagging behind, not enough water and traffic sucks!
This lady is giving you a false picture of Asheville in order to make money as a realtor.
The REAL LOCALS resent all the outsiders moving in and forcing their politics on us. Do us a favor and stay away!
Oh by the way, locals know how to drive in the snow. It's all the FLORIDIOTS and flatlanders that cause problems. Winters can be nasty here!
AGREED EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!! They don’t give a shit about their locals anymore.
so first you said I'm right, then you said I'm giving false information-which one is it, life long resident?
I’ve had much of those resentments. Loved Asheville before the recession. Had to let go and stop complaining. I’m welcome to move too. But I’m sticking around because I love the mountains. I like to travel and it’s a good place to come home to.
I agree except for about the politics. Asheville has been a progressive place for a very long time.
I left asheville after 41 years of living there.i couldn't stand what its turned into...but thanks to the over hyped over priced real estate I was able to sell my house and buy one cash in east tenn.try johnson city
CRT in k-12 schools.
How long have you lived here? You know very little about our mountain 🏔 and it’s healing power. You know very little…
Since 2004
What about you?
Lots of generalities, which are more or less true. Asheville and the surrounding towns aren't much different than any other place i have lived. However, it is more expensive than many of its counterparts.
Thank you for a very general comment
Would I fit in with my 2005 Scion xB? 🥰

Most of the town is to busy tearing itself down right now. Looking more like a small Seattle at the moment. As long as you don't have a different set of views outside of liberalism you'll be alright. If you do you'll be judged before saying a word.
@Kaizogen -- You vow hatred and want to push out liberals, but you're worried about whether you'll be accepted. Do you have a clue how hypocritical that is?
@@leobebb8607 Well Leo I lived in Asheville from 1984 to 1993 and I will say that Aaron is totally correct. I considered myself a hardcore liberal, my parents were ex-hippies so I grew up in the lifestyle so I know what it is like to live in a very liberal town and even lived in a commune when I was very young. I now live in Copenhagen Denmark and I can say that while living in A'ville if you did not have all the "correct" liberal POV even back in the late 80's to early 90's you were excommunicated from the liberal establishment. I frankly love the lovely scenery of A'ville and many of the locals. However I really had to get out of there due to the lack of openess to different ideas that existed outside the liberal community and this was many years ago. I personally could care less what people choose to believe in but when they begin excluding others because their beliefs do not fit with their ideological standards then it becomes problematic. I still have relatives living in Aville and it seems to have attracted just as many of the same groups as you see flocking to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Nothing wrong with these places but it is certainly reflective of attracting a certain mindset and in some cases excluding others. Oh well, I no longer live there nor would I ever consider moving back, however it is a shame that it has dev eloped such a mono-culture of people at the price of exclusion of others with different points of view.
I wouldn’t even want to be buried there
Carmen M where? Asheville? Umm, I don’t even know what to say...I don’t work in a funeral industry 🤷🏻♀️. Hope you find a place you truly love ✌🏻
@@livinginashevillencin the funeral industry
@@edgywagy145 lol
Wonderful video,very helpful.Thank you.
I hope you speak Russian.
Yes I do
I lived in Asheville for a year and despised it. The people are horrible and snobbish.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Correction to #15: Some of us only tolerate our dogs.
ok
Asheville is not weird...by very definition, if you are TRYING to be weird, you are NOT weird. Truly being weird is not fun...also, not an original idea. Boulder has the same thing "Keep Boulder weird", and likely others do too. BRING YOUR OWN MONEY....I cannot stress this enough. We came here and have STRUGGLED since arriving. My husband's business is doing well enough, but mine is non-existent...I do healing work, and everybody and their dog here claims to be a healer, and they do work for free or barter, so for people like me with actual credentials and 20 years under their belt in working with others, it does not matter. Everybody wants freebies or breaks on the price of everything...the cheapness is rampant. the borders of this small town are not solid borders, of course. What does that mean? It means that while there are liberal people here, there are also backwoods Appalachain folks who want to see things stay the same as always...get used to seeing confederate flags and having people argue to defend their right to do what they want, despite the cost to other people. Long story kind of short...we cannot WAIT to leave.
Thank you for sharing your perspective
Suppose I'll buy a subaru
Lol
Weird? Asheville has nothing on Austin, TX.
Ok
Never any new businesses just old businesses closing
Ashville has the best escorts in several states... They are usually young white girls and thin and usually not to ghetto... Avoid the Pisgah view. Lee Walker apartment complexes. You will not make it out. Alive homie.
What a valuable information 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
So helpful Ed.
😂😂😂
I am soooo glad after graduating from UNCA and moving to Univ of Colorado for Grad school to get out of this liberal hell hole! Now I am happy to say I have been living in Copenhagen Denmark for over 14 years and am glad to be out of the hell hole that the U.S. becoming now that Alzheimer's Biden is President! Good luck U.S., places like Asheville will be the first places to crash once the real estate market catches up with real market realities. As the narrirator has pointed out, I hear an Eastern European accent in her voice, so maybe she is old enough to remember the chaos once the USSR crashed. If not I suggest she read up on her history of Eastern Europe as places like Asheville will crash unless you are a doctor, or can conduct remote work. Good luck Asheville, it does not make me happy to think this place will crash as it is a very beautiful place, however all the new agers are people relocating to this place from the rest of the US should have re-thought their move to this place. To bad they have destroyed the place by driving up prices artificially.
Bye! And good riddance! 👋🏼
Your message was posted a while ago so I hope you see this but I am sincerely curious about how you are happy in Copenhagen while saying that Asheville is a "liberal hell hole". I'm originally from Sweden (my family is still there) and my ex is from Denmark; both of these countries are what you would consider some of the most liberal countries in the world. Ironically, the issue that the democrats are pushing for are the exact rights you have if you are a resident in Denmark. Universal health care with free or low-cost medical treatments, for example. Or free education. If you had moved somewhere conservative, I would understand your post but I am genuinely wondering how you are happy in Denmark (though it is consistently ranked as the happiest country in the world. Why? Because of a good healthcare system, lots of vacation, work-life balance, free education and a lot more!). As far as inflated prices, it's happening everywhere, unfortunately, especially post-covid with all the remote workers. But Denmark is not in a cheap place to live, so again, I would love to hear your reasoning about why living in a much-more-liberal-than-Asheville place suits you and your values. :)
Ashville used to be nice.untill folks from the ne started moving there.now its just about all libs n dems.
Ok
Agreed.
Once you move here you realize downtown is sketchy and there is nothing to do but hike or bike then u see bum tents while you do that so you have become a bum in the woods
How white ?

Да ни хуя, как ни старайтесь - не отговорите, всё равно перееду :-D
Hate to tell you, but 5 hours to the beach is not a short drive. Not under any analysis, but nice try. This fact may be the primary reason that prevents my wife and I from retiring in Asheville.
Thank you for letting me know
I live in Charleston, which is definitely not the closest beach. We're 4 hours from downtown Asheville, and we visit somewhat regularly for long weekends. It's really not that bad...
@@allenklingsporn6993 That's a lot of driving. We do a vacation to Cape Cod once a year, which is about 4 hours or so away from us and I cannot imagine doing it more than perhaps one other time. I am fine with being land locked, but my wife wants the beach (which I can't stand to be honest). Daughter recently admitted to College of Charleston. Any information or advice that might be helpful on that front? Thanks.
Noone ever loves cats :/
Being born and raised in Asheville don’t move stay where you are or go somewhere else
First couple minutes kinda turned me off, was excited looking into it but now? No thank you. I'll look elsewhere.
Thank you for letting me know 👍🏻
Asheville is the rural skid row
Poop and needles everywhere
Do not get in the river !
Autistic transgender weirdo here. I'm planning on moving to Asheville later this year (if I can find low income housing since I'm disabled) and I can't wait. I grew up in ultra conservative Cashiers NC so, needless to say, I've never fit in. I'm hoping that when I get settled in I'll be able to find some people like me to be friends with.
If you own a tent you can camp out downtown area with all the other Weirdos and Junkies.
Sounds like a junky city. Might as well move to California. At least the weather is nice and the people are semi-normal
You do that!
After knowing there's gays living there I prefer to think about moving out to another town . I was so excited
I’ve got news for you, James, there are gay people everywhere. Gasp! 🙄
Trashville. Plenty of heroin
Where??
@@marcusmayne3831 pva got you lol
Asheville NATIVES have been PRICED OUT of the area! Thanks to videos like this and people moving here cause they can afford more in NC. #TRUMP2024
Surely I’m solely responsible for people moving to the area, NOT TDA spending millions of $$ to put Asheville on every list possible.
I hear your frustration though. Some natives and a lot of long time locals can’t afford to stay here especially considering how much (or little) local jobs pay
Can y'all with money please stop moving here? It's fuckin it up for the rest of us
What areas around Asheville are not infiltrated by gays?
Violent crime in Asheville is up over 200% because of all the liberal policies
Thank you for your perspective and comment
No one is allowed to live here unless they regularly use heroin on a daily basis . Every block has a brewery. If you don’t use heroin you have to develop alcoholism . A requirement for life here !
