LOL But yeah, my brother is a bingo drinker don't worry. It has zapped all the fun out of drinking for me, having to look after him and helping him to avoid fights is annoying. The way I see it, is I cannot change how he is, but I should let him influence me for the better. Just gives me more reason not to end up like that myself.
i've drank a lot in my life and i've never been so drunk that when i had to shit i didn't realize that i had to shit... that's a good point. OP should just start drinking with them so she doesn't mind so much.
This is good advice, but don't take it to the extreme my fiance has... He's developed such an abhorrence for alcohol that he made a vow never to touch it, and now every time I pick up a drink, he'll barely let me kiss him. I go out or go to party where there will be booze MAYBE once every few months or so. I am not a lush. I have no head for it, so two beers and I'm done. And yet, he still gets this panic attack every time I pick up a drink. It's hard not to feel judged, but I try to understand his mom has caused him a lot of grief in that he just can't go to her about things after a certain hour because she's always plastered at night. I guess what I'm preaching in general is barance. Barance is all things.
It's not that I don't think that the people here aren't giving good advice, but unless you've lived with a mean drunk you really don't know what kind of shit happens. My suggestion would be to go to an Al-Anon meeting and have an opportunity to talk to others like yourself. I'm giving you a link: check it out. I hope it will be of some help. http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/ PAX
