It was a natural reaction for Jack to hit the bottle trying to drown out all his pain. He was lashing out at Ennis and at Rufus, like a child when you try to offer help when it is hurt and confused,it will refuses help out of fear of the on known and will through a temper tantrum. I'm glad Rufus stepped in and helped out and I'm sure he will be able to get through to him. Jack is strong he will survive he just has to cry for a life lost and start a new one.
Thank you
