Ask YC: what happens when the business fails?

I know it isn't guaranteed. However, the odds of failing is greater than succeeding. So what typically happens when the business fails? How do things settle for the founders usually?

In my experience a lot of drinking and a few weeks of "dark time."

Sometimes it is issues between the founders that tears the company apart. Think "bad breakup" or "nasty divorce" and let your imagination run with it.
