My mom is an alcoholic. She drank all while I was a kid and I never knew it. She would pour the alcohol in a soda bottle or can keeping it out of our reach.

I think I could be an alcoholic if I drank. But, I don't drink because of all the medications I'm on. I did drink while I was in the Marines and then stopped for a while. I started drinking again after my first divorce. There's lots of times when I'd love to have a drink, but I can't. Meds and alcohol just don't mix.
