[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH makes his own beer and drinks at least one pint every night- frequently two (yes, every single night). We've both wondered whether he's an alcoholic - and he did start making his beer a little lower in alcohol (mostly so he could drink more of it, i think).  He's slender and fit and extremely productive, a good provider, a musician (frequently filling our home with live music), a great father, husband, family member. I've rarely seen him drunk (2-3 or 4 times in 12 years). We decided if this is alcoholic, bring it on.[/quote]

As someone who grew up with someone who truly was a "functioning alcoholic", i.e. got hammered Wednesday-Saturday night of every week, slept all day Sunday in a hangover, and was only around and not partying on Mondays and Tuesdays, was able to hold down a job but got arrested for DUI twice and drove drunk way more often and frequently stayed gone all weekend with no phone call of explanation until walking back in on Sunday morning holding Burger King for breakfast- your post is gross and offensive. If your husband were truly an alcoholic (and drinking a pint or two of his homemade beer a night is NOT an alcoholic) you would be suffering so many of the side consequences (lying, manipulation, misplaced anger, deception)  there is no way you'd be saying "bring it on." You are seriously such a dumb ass. [/quote]

I respectfully disagree. A functioning alcoholic can certainly drink two beers a night. Have you seen the size of some of the beers that are sold at Total Beverage and looked at the alcohol content? If he's brewing his own he can manipulate that.

And really, your experience sounds horrible but your description is not a FUNCTIONING alcoholic. The person that you grew up with was a FULL BLOWN alcoholic. Get your definitions straight.

And why call people dumb asses? Is that what you took away from growing up in an alcoholic household?[/quote]
