He definitely seems to me be the sort who tries not to think about things too much. I can see there being some occasions where he might be a little more deliberate about getting smashed and picking up chicks to avoid dwelling on things, but most of the time it seems more like it's force of habit, it's easy and it feels good, living in the moment is more fun that sitting at home alone, and that's plenty enough conscious motivation for the average day.
