Serious Issue: Advice for Dealing with Alcoholics

[shootingstar]

To my knowledge, alcoholism doesn't exist in our family...just hope the nephews and nieces don't fall down a hole here.

I really do mean this genuinely.....this may sound wierd but some of my family members can only hold 1 glass of wine or less, before getting red. And for me, it's only 1/2 glass of wine. I understand for some Asians, they may have a particular enzyme that does not breakdown alcohol "efficiently". I guess this is a blessing in disguise.


I do remember as a child, my mother expressing concern that my father not fall into any drinking when his boss was a happy beer, Scotch and whiskey drinker. His boss died about 8 yrs. ago from a failed liver.

And if something did go wrong....I am certain they would listen to my sister, who is a physician....they have been taking her medical advice for past decade so far.

I feel for the Silvers and their problems with elders having alcolholism.
