My Grandfather was an alchoholic. A very fine man and successful but he would have done so much more if not for his Alchoholism.

He had 13 children, 6 boys and 7 girls. All the boys became alchoholics and all the girls hated liquor just like their Mother. Several of the boys lives were ruined by their drinking.

I am sorry for the problems in your family. I wish that they were unique. I have no problem with people enjoying alcohol responsibly. But we take 18 and 19 year-old kids into the military for a reason: They are easier to lead because they are not completely formed adult minds. They are impressionable.
