[quote=Anonymous]Drunks love their vodka.

My late father who died from alcohol-related dementia and was an alcoholic his entire adult life mixed vodka with orange juice and drank from a huge plastic tumbler all day- this way he tell his doctor, my mother, his adult children and even his neurologist that he “only” had two drinks a day. Yes, this was in his medical records in narrative form.

My dad would often start with red wine, then head out to the liquor store in the early evening to buy a “family size” bottle. Let’s just say his regular purchase was a large bottle of vodka that we’d keep in our house and it might last over a year - used for an occasional mixed drink or maybe if we’re entertaining.

My father was highly functional which was maddening; we were the last family you’d ever think had a stumbling drunk, nasty, abusive drunk father. My dad instead kept getting promoted and ended up being top in his niche field. He was publicly lauded and considered brilliant and innovative.
