[quote=Anonymous]Oh yes, it is very common. I've been sober for over 30 years. I quit early and before it interfered with much. I used to manage people and often suspected that many were functional alcoholics. I think it's very common for women to be in this category and people who work out or play a sport in adulthood often recover long enough so that they think it doesn't affect them and drinking is iften part of the lifestyle (golf). People who live with them may know but they can hide it from most others. What made me think employees were: lots of talk about going out for drinks, casual mentions of wine/beer all the time, calling in sick on many Mondays, a sweet smell, puffiness and sweat on face, accidents from tripping or falling combined with other clues, anxious behavior and excessive worry.
