Perhaps, but as I implied, I am unhappy with such a definition. Let's say person X can do (or enjoys doing more) something when they are drunk. Does this mean that they are getting drunk to "escape" their inability? Again, perhaps - but that seems like a mangling of English grammar. It'd be pretty strange to say that Popeye eats spinach as a form of "escapism" from being weak for instance.
