[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Agree drunks always want you to drink with them.  [/b]It's the worst.

You're probably not going to shut it down and I would openly discuss it with your children and why it's problematic.  They are noticing.[/quote]

Not all drunks. Some alcoholics, like my parents, just drink excessively without seeming to notice or care what others do. They never even offer me or anyone else a drink when they’re making themselves a cocktail or “grabbing a beer” or pouring a huge glass of wine. They’re too self involved or maybe they just want to try to keep their drinking under my radar (which obviously isn’t possible with the amounts they drink). [/quote]

My aunt is like this. She drinks vodka out of a labeled water bottle all day long and NEVER offers anyone any alcoholic drink when hosting. The weirdest thing is that she never even seems drunk.[/quote]

Neither did my friend who drank an handle of vodka a day. That was just what he needed to feel and act normal. His liver gave out at the age of 43.[/quote]

My old boss drank 12 Budweisers every single day (after work) when I worked for him. That was 18 years, which was another 10 years ago. He's 10 years older than I am so he's been doing that for at least 35 years. He is skinny as a teenager, runs, swims, kayaks, and still goes camping.

Doubtful his liver is going out soon.[/quote]

Um, OK? [/quote]

Have you seen his liver?  [/quote]
