I think if you're getting drunk alone then it's probably a slight cause for concern, but only slight. There's nothing wrong with having a couple of beers to help you chill out at home! If your work colleagues don't drink then they may have a slightly affected opinion on where/when you should drink!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
