My family is full of alcoholics, has been for generations. My daughter and I are the only ones who can have a glass or two of wine with dinner and not drink more.
I used to buy a bottle of Vanilla Vodka every summer for vodka tonics on hot days. then friend opened my fridge a few years ago and said there was a bottle of vodka in there. I forgot I had it. Gave him the. bottle and never bought another.
Anyway, alcoholism is terrible, kills some very beautiful smart people along with the drunken. bums in the alley downtown.
Of all the things I admire in my father, it was the fact that he kicked alcohol that gave me the most pride.
Do you have any Irish gene background even if it goes back generations?
a lot of the drunken bums used to be beautiful people.
