I’d like to be the drunk uncle but no chance for nieces or nephews. Brother is gay, sister is too old and wife is an only.

I know what you mean.

I must admit, I have known for some time that drinking heavily is something I have to approach with a degree of caution, but it isn’t that I get angry, argumentative, disruptive or destructive.

On the contrary, I am a good natured drunk (or so I have been told) but I do stupid things. No common sense.

So I don’t do that anymore unless I am in a fairly controlled environment with friends who I trust to look out for me, and that comes up once or twice a year...it’s fun.

But I had never been able to play that role for my nieces or nephews...I guess it just never came up like that!
