So, it is possible, if we apply Freud’s theory, that Tim has repressed the thoughts of his parents leaving to the unconscious part of his brain, so, unknowingly, he drinks to cover up the pain and sadness from that

These high risk behaviors include substance abuse, criminal activity, incarceration, and unsafe sex practices. As a result these individuals experience high disease burdens and mortality rates. Boston Health Care for the Homeless estimated that the total annual expenditures from ER visits was $16,011,738 annually (Thakarar, Morgan, Gaeta, Hohl, & Drainoni, 2015). “Multiple factors have been identified as predictors of frequent ER use in homeless persons such as older age, previous hospital admissions and emergency room visits, multiple primary care visits, perceived inadequate mental health care, poor health status, and HIV” (Thakarar, et al., 2015).

The earth cannot support the lifestyle most of us are living, and we need to make major changes, however I do not believe that an island civilization is the solution. Island civilization might seem like a good idea on paper, however, it is hard to say if it can actually work.

However, I do not believe that these "island civilizations" are the solution.
