[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember those little tupperware containers that were good for things like Salad Dressing if you were packing work lunch?  Well, we used to raid my parent's liquor cabinet and fill them up and then go out and drink.  We never did the water in the bottle trick because my mom didn't go in the liquor cabinet and my dad drank too much to remember what was in it.  They had a lock on it, but we could open it with a pocketknife.

My oldest raided our vodka and did the water trick.  But, we never drink vodka so we didn't actually know until he was older and admitted to it.  My middle child got out of control.  He drank every bit of alcohol in the house, except for red wine which he hates.  Good bourbon, expensive champagne (gifts), beer, tequila, gin (a favorite), everything we bought when we were trying new cocktails and only needed like a shot so there was almost a whole bottle left.  When we realized this was a problem (and we tend to drink beer and wine and we were in two different households for a few months at the start of the pandemic), we locked everything up.  We missed a few bottles (decorative and in the back of the refrigerator).  Gone.  [u]Then we found him trying to make alcohol out of fruit.[/u]  (Guess he watched too much OITNB).  So, basically, we ended up pouring everything out and stopped drinking ourselves.  The good news is that once everything was gone, it was like his craving went away.  Also, we sent him for treatment.  I still have one more kid to go.

Bravo!  I make hard cider out of Aldi juice, 5 gallons at a time.  I also brew beer, and make other things.  There's something very satisfying about taking the time to fashion your own booze that is oddly satisfying.  I dont buy liquor, beer, or wine. I only drink what I make.  
I also have chickens in the back yard, so.... I'm consistent at least.[/quote]
