Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker rejects the idea of atoning for wrongdoing and says drinking is their preferred way to cope. The line is flippant and defiant, trading solemn self-punishment for a quick drink, and it works as a wisecrack about choosing indulgence over guilt.
