[quote=Anonymous]OP's husband is like my dad in middle age. The behavior intensified over time. He'd pass out in front of the tv almost every night. As a teenager I thought maybe it was just aging or a quirk -- but he was only in his late 40s when I was in high school and I later understood that his 2-3 highball glasses of Jack and Coke were putting him under. The drinking increased over the years -- never to the point of drunken rages, but transforming his personality more subtly. He was more belligerent. He was a little paranoid and intolerant. He would get short-tempered if he had to wait more than 2 minutes between getting home and getting a drink. Now in his 70s he has alcohol-related health problems and a pretty clear case of alcoholic dementia. He's high functioning by alcoholic standards but his brain is running on 2 cylinders. And he was pretty much OP's husband back in the day. [/quote]
