kid of different answer than anybody else but eh.

Die Legende vom heiligen Trinker (The Legend of the Holy Drinker) by Joseph Roth

I read this story when I was around 12-13 years old and it scared the living shit of me. Me and the author were completely different (I was just a kid lol, he was an old homeless drunk), but I saw something of myself there so vividly that it was like staring at a time bended mirror.
I was beginning to have mental health problems back there, even if I didn't understand at the time the extend of it, and swore to myself never to get drunk.
Broke that promise and gave alcohol a chance in my late 20s because I thought I was kind of dealing better with life in general and alcohol consumption was kid of expected in my social circle. I almost tripped over the line of high functioning alcoholism in the span of a few months.
Still struggling with alcohol nowadays and I can't imagine how hard this would be if I started drinking in my early teen like a lot of my peers (I'm not American, here people begin drinking fairly early, especially back when I was a kid).
I think that novella saved my life.

fandom related probably Dragon Ball and Buffy because they were my first real "internet fandoms", but animanga fandom in general made me learn English and then Japanese and that had repercussion on my personal and professional life.
