    The article that I have read is “Don’t Get Drunk, Jake”: Drinking, Drunkenness, and Sobriety in The Sun Also Rises by Donald A. Daiker. This article is mainly about claiming that Jake is not drunk as the whole meaning of the novel is seems that Jake wants to achieve his sobriety rather than to get drunk. He also proves that Jake is trying to achieve sobriety in his life based on the amount of alcohol that he had consumed, his drunkenness level and also his intention of consuming alcohol is more towards getting a state of composure in his life instead of just to get drunk without any intention. In my opinion, I agree with the writer statement about Jake didn’t gets drunk because he wants to achieve his sobriety after he has experienced a bad…
