Vacation and holiday...
What of it?!?

some people have to hit bottom and there's nothing you or anyone can do until they are ready to face it
it will be good for him then, to know he has your support

I used to know a guy who got drunk every day, he had a real problem. He died in his late 20's from a combination of alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. In college I thought nothing about his drinking (I wasn't exactly a choir boy myself) but he drank like it was college long afterward. The doctors couldn't believe how bad his liver was for his age, they said it looked like some old man who had been drinking for decades. That leads me to believe that maybe he had a weak liver coming out of the gates though, because I'm not sure he drank THAT much. But I don't know what he did behind closed doors. I still don't know how he managed to hold down a good job and actually be a contributing member of society with that kind of problem, but he did.
Hopefully none of that is the case with your family member though. Maybe he was just living it up for the holidays. Like I said, I don't know the guy.

Drinking whiskey till you don't know which way is up or down every day is not OK. Sounds like Dimi is talking about the latter.
I once asked a good friend why he drinks so much, he said it helps him feel less inhibited, more social and enhances his enjoyment in most things. Another friend (or ex friend I should say) said the same thing about cocaine.
then my wife saw the fucker not an hour later putting down the vodka bottle on the bar just as she came down the stairs (he was downstairs playing with his son and my daughters). all alcoholics and druggies are liars. that's lesson #1.

There's an old saying: “An alcoholic will steal your wallet and lie to you. A drug addict will steal your wallet and then help you look for it.” I always found that funny because I actually had a friend who had a drug problem steal my wallet and help me look for it. I wouldn't have known if he hadn't entered a 12 Step program and told me about it as part of his program years later. He gave me a brand new Packers wallet that was cooler than the old one with $45 (what was in my missing wallet) in it for his restitution to me, so it was all good.
Some can drink daily with zero reprecussions.
others , like myself, well we're better people when we dont. At all.

Since you're a truck driver, we're all better (living) people for you not drinking every day. The last thing I need is you and the Pork Chop Express crashing through my living room some Sunday morning.

If you ever fall off the wagon you can always just become a pilot.
I was drinking every other day for awhile but decided to stop for a few months just to get healthy and change things up
I put a lot of thought into it lately because I've lost a few friends because they abused alcohol. One of them was one of the best musicians i ever played with but he simply drank because he was bored and he was very awkward in public and to people he didn't know. I'd be surprised if he was still alive.
I don't get it..i used to drink a lot,but not every day

I think there are complicated reasons why people feel they need to drink to excess but none of them are good. I'm told that people who are alcoholics are confused by social drinkers, like "How can they drink so little? How can they leave a drink unfinished?"
For Christmas dinner, out of respect for my SIL, we didn't serve any alcohol. Nobody objected and we all had a great time! I don't care if people drink; alcohol can be enjoyable. But I worry when someone believes they need to drink to have a good time.
And manipulators.

I for one cant understand leaving anything in a glass. Baffles me. Its like its a waste of alcohol or something.
In some cases Dimi, there is no why, there just is.
It'd be easy for me to say yeah he is o risnt an alky, but it doesnty matter what I d=say about soemone elses drinking. If THEY believe or come to believe that alcohol has become or is a problem in their lives, thats when I or anyone could maybe be of some help. until then, stand back and hope for the best.

you know this is true ... alcohol is a habit like any other, when abused it's a problem.
Abused being ... effects personal relationships, your job, your health, your safety.
Even for those couple of drinks a day folk
it's good to break the habit now and then to make sure you can,
to relax and enjoy clear headed.
Congrats to you too. I only know you from your posts but I get the feeling life is good for you now.
