My face was red and puffy from a thyroid disorder, rosacea and sun damage. So it could be other things.

+1 same and I don't drink at all.

Foot drop.

What?

Foot drop can be a physical sign of alcohol use disorder over a long period of time. There are other causes of peroneal nerve problems, but in the US, it's the most common cause.

More bull shite. I don't drink and have had neuropathy in my feet for years.

What? Not having a tattoo is a sign of alcoholism?

I’m an alcoholic and it is clear why no one knew. Most posters seem to have a vaudeville idea of what an alcoholic looks like.

Red eyes? My high-functioning parent's eyes are always red. They also can't walk strait as the day progresses.

Maybe look up the meaning of "can be" and "other causes."

Not everything is about you.

If you don’t look like W.C. Fields, you’re not an alcoholic apparently!

My alcoholic parent was always a little too thin, with lots of broken blood vessels, but not really rosacea.
