Champagne Condemned Drunk Drunkenness Lament Sober Tipsy Vichy 1921 Sobriety


I'm condemned to drinking nothing but Vichy Water...

EDITORS COMMENTS
: The Lament of a Sober Man Amongst the Drunk (1921) This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment of contrast between sobriety and drunkenness, as a sober man sits amidst two young women, deeply engrossed in their merriment and under the influence of champagne. The date, 1921, places this scene within the Roaring Twenties, a time of decadence, excess, and the liberation of social norms. The man's expression is one of melancholy and longing, as he holds a glass of Vichy Water, a popular non-alcoholic beverage during the era. His eyes are fixed on the women, who are lost in their laughter and the moment. The juxtaposition of the man's sobriety against their drunkenness creates a sense of isolation and loneliness. The women, dressed in fashionable flapper attire, are oblivious to the man's presence, their focus solely on their intoxicated state. Their carefree and joyful expressions contrast sharply with the man's somber demeanor, highlighting the divide between those who choose to indulge and those who must abstain. The photograph, titled "I'm condemned to drinking nothing but Vichy Water...", captures the essence of the man's lament, a poignant reminder of the choices we make and the consequences that come with them. The image is a testament to the complexities of human emotions and the intricacies of social dynamics, making it a compelling and thought-provoking piece of historical documentation. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and evocative narrative, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the human condition, the choices we make, and the consequences that follow. It is a poignant reminder that, even in moments of joy and celebration, there are those who are left on the sidelines, longing for a different reality.
