It's just a gateway drug.
You buy a Tele, then eventually start playing country. Next thing you know you are sitting in your truck with a bottle of Jack, wondering why your wife or husband left you. As you write a song about all the things that have gone wrong with your life, you keep thinking about all the latency you feel when you are trying to play while wasted.
Of course, the Strat is much worse. It leads to club parties and cocaine. Just ask Eric Clapton! Rock bottom is when some logistics dudes are looking at you in disgust, and talking about how you get money for nothing and chicks for free.
