[quote=Anonymous] I don't have kids yet, so I don't have a dog in this race, but why do you assume people drink because something is hard? I usually drink when something is fun and I want it to be even a little more fun. A picnic is fun, but a boozy picnic is even more fun. A sporting event is fun, but a sporting event with beer is even more fun. [/quote] Lots of children of alcoholics don't understand that. [/quote] My mom was an adult child of an alcoholic and she was a teetotaler. Her understanding of alcohol was that it was very dangerous, caused violence and complete lack of self-control, and probably began with someone who "needed to just take the edge off". She used that phrase a lot, like that was sort of the only entry point was as a coping mechanism for hard days. She couldn't understand me having one or two drinks in a celebratory situation. It was all the beginning of the end in her mind. [/quote]
