[quote=Anonymous]People saying « she is an alcoholic because she stores alcohol in her room» she is an AU PAIR where else should she store her alcohol? I am also a former Au pair from France and whilst I didn’t store wine (I don’t like wine), I definitely stored alcohol in my room. The thing is I NEVER touched it when on duty and never at night if I was working the next day (I guess one glass of wine or a beer after work is different though). I did drink it in the weekends if I was going out to party or whatever else, but then again I was off.  It could also go untouched for weeks/months. Though yes, if you stepped into my room you would have found a bottle of alcohol, maybe half full who had probably been sitting untouched for weeks, not that you would know that just by looking at the bottle.

Most households (French or not) have an alcohol cabinet. APs usually don’t, so I stored all non-essential items in my rooms (snacks/candies/ alcohol) didn’t mean I was an alcoholic and drinking every night!

Why you would assume someone is an alcoholic because they store alcohol in their room when their room is their only private space is beyond me!

Now sure if she downs a bottle of wine every night, address it but if you just so happens to see a bottle of wine in her bedroom and have no notion of how much she drinks/doesn’t drink then I would be cautious to assume the worst when there is no reason to believe she is an alcoholic.
