Thanks for your kind thoughts. The Mrs is not a secret drinker or one who starts in the AM. She just can't quit after downing the first beer, etc.
It wasn't that big a deal here at the house, but over the last several years she started going out with the gang to bars after work.
It didn't help that she was mean and bitter while drunk.

Damn, that never helps. That was my mom, I don't think that woman had a happy day in her life. Brilliant woman, and I love my mom, but she was just SO unhappy.
