[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. They think they hide it but they don’t. If you grew up with an alcoholic, you always see the signs. [/quote] I agree with this - there are certain things alcoholics do and ways they act that give them away if you are familiar with the signs. [/quote] What are the signs besides the smell and ruddy face?[/quote] Wife of a formerly high functioning alcoholic here. I'm not sure these signs existed when he was still high functioning, but as the level of function declined you would notice: * Just looked a little unhealthy all the time. * Alternated between amped up / excitable, irritable, and depressed. Not a lot of chill or calm. * The PP who mentioned drinking tons and tons of fluids was spot on. High functioning alcoholics are smart alcoholics. They know to guzzle fluids. * Also my DH chewed gum to cover the smell on the breath.[/quote]
