X2 all above.
I was bad in my younger years. Lost lots of friends and family because of it. I think one of the saddest was a good friend who was drinking a fifth of vodka a day and that was just vodka.

Putting the "plug in the jug" is just the tip of the ice berg. The ism part of that disease is nasty as well! Lots of demons to deal with and it takes constant work to keep on top of them.

All I've learned about it is you really can't help anyone who doesn't want to help themselves.

Sucks is a mild word for it. I come from a very long line of drunks. Both parents and step-dad were addicts, as were all three of my siblings. I saw enough B.S. growing up that I decided 36+ years ago that I was done drinking for good. I'd be dead like all the rest of my family if I hadn't stopped.

Lot of WW2 guys succumbed to alcoholism eventually. In our case,we caste aside any observation of which would be relevant. Many of us felt they earned it. It was something not thought of.

I don't drink because my old man was one. Hated him the whole time but still thank him for showing me what not to be!

I have three friends that where hard core drinkers, then they stopped drinking there were all together different people. But they never said there were alcoholics.

It does, Warrior. Every day.

Be safe. Call for help if you or someone needs it.

Any drug addiction is hard on families. Nicotine, ethanol, heroin or meth. Doesn't really matter.

I can consume ethanol in small amounts and go weeks without a single beer. I don't understand why that is. I had to quit tobacco. I have no control over it at all. Cigars cigarettes chew, I like it all. Absolutely can not control my intake other than abstinence.

I feel sorry for addicts to a point. I wont give an addict money no matter what. I have fed people. I guess that is providing money in a round about way. Even addicts need to eat though.

It isn't always a mental health issue. Being Indian I have seen it destroy many people who were not trying to forget or run from anything. They flat out liked the effect.
It may not always be a mental health issue, but abuse of substance is always a bad issue.
