Oh yeah. My MIL is a pretty serious alcoholic. However, she is what every single functional alcoholic strives to be. Her house is spotless. She holds down however many jobs she needs to, her kids were always taken care of, and never neglected. Unless it's late at night and she has started hitting the liquor, you never know she is 10 sheets to the wind 90% of the time. She would wake up, have her coffee, and then start with the beer no more than an hour after waking up. Her ex-husband (abusive pos) attempted to throw all the alcohol away because he was tired of her drinking. It got scary. Somehow, that's not considered attempted murder though. Her 5 sons (including the two that were this scums) and myself (the only dil at the time) were all 100% positive, and he did it for that exact reason). I have never seen people race to a liquor store so fast.
