[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I don't have any intimate knowledge or experience with alcoholism, so perhaps other posters can shed some light. . .

If someone were a closet alcoholic, would he actually spike his spouse's drink?  I would think that someone hiding alcoholism would make two smoothies, then surreptitiously spike his OWN drink.  Not saying that there are other points of concern in this story, but closet alcoholism doesn't seem that logical to me.

I can kind of see the scenario 16:41 describes, especially combined with the cluelessness of many (even good) fathers on something like this.  And the reaction of your DH seems like a man backed into a corner and on the defensive-- as easily about something stupid as about something more serious.  (I know my DH gets far more defensive over the dumb stuff than the meaningful stuff.  Not his finest behavior, but he otherwise has so many great qualities as a father and husband.  He's just really, really uncomfortable when pointedly confronted with doing something stupid.)[/quote]
