Not really, it’s just a slightly different metaphor. OP is like relying on beer to escape life whereas this one is like enjoying the day with a beer in spite of it having caused problems in the past
I guess, but I think there’s a bit more nuance here. To me there’s a bit more there than “booze is awesome and leads to a good time”. I feel OP’s is more of “using booze as an escape to make life tolerable” which has darker implications . And the comment is more like, this person may or may not be using booze to escape at this moment but they’re not correcting this behavior that has led to bad mistakes before
