[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how everyone is saying he is an alcoholic. Getting drunk ( who knows how drunk) 1-2 times a week does not mean he is an alcoholic. [/quote]

Yes, it is. Getting drunk weekly is a big sign of alcoholism. It takes a day to recover. That's 4 days lost a week to drinking. One day of drunkiness,  one day to recover. Rinse and repeat.

How do you raise kids being drunk two days out of the week.[/quote]

Please learn of what you speak before throwing terms around. Alcoholics don't recover. They stay drunk. Their BAC never dips below .1 and often higher. Alcoholics don't drink just 2 days/week. They can't go that long without alcohol.[/quote]

As an adult child of an alcoholic and grandchild to more alcoholics, I can confidently say you are wrong.[/quote]

As someone that had alcoholism in my family and as someone who worked with alcoholics, I can say you are wrong if you thing an alcohol drinks just once or twice a week and has control. They have no control and can't stop. I once played golf with a man that I didn't know was an alcoholic. He was an acquaintance and saw we were short, he approached about joining and we happily welcomed him. At the turn we got a few beers and one of my friends asked him if he wanted anything, he got a VO and soda and we didn't bat an eye. We all had a drink after the round and went our separate ways. A mutual friend called me 2 days later asking if I had seen this man. I told him the story and at this point found out he was an alcoholic. The man left the golf club, after being sober for several years, and he went on a 5 day bender until his son found him and brought him home to get him help.

Smeone that drinks too much one a week is a problem drinker, not an alcoholic.[/quote]
