Research has not supported the theory that alcoholism has "stages."
Stage 1
4th Stage
The three phases of alcoholism are early, middle, and end stage. In the early phase, individual may start to misuse alcohol intermittently. Middle stage is characterized by increased tolerance and dependence. End stage is marked by severe physical and psychological consequences, such as liver cirrhosis and cognitive impairment.
The last or late stage is when the alcoholic faces serious health issues, like liver and brain damage and heart disease.
By acting on stage
The legal Australian age for drinking alcohol is 18, however the human brain is still developing at this stage and drinking alcohol is not recommended until the age of 26. This is because alcohol will damage the brain at this stage.
A bald wig is a headpiece worn by stage and film actors, used for them to appear bald on top without the necessity of shaving.
Alcoholics develop tolerance to alcohol which means that it takes more and more alcohol to achieve the same effects. However, in "late stage" alcoholism, tolerance decreases and it takes less and less alcohol to achieve the same effects. There is a very real possibility that he is experiencing some liver failure and is no longer able to break down the alcohol, it's also possible that he is still drunk from last time he was drinking and it doesn't take much to put him over the top.
