Basically, both my parents are alcoholics, and at some level, I hate them for it. That is why I don't drink at all. And it infuriates me the way they rationalise their drinking. When I say to my mother "Mother, you've got a problem," she responds "Ah, you're such a prude, just get a life." When I say to my father "Father, you've got a problem," he responds "No, see, I don't drink on Mondays and Thursdays, to give my liver time to recover, so everything's OK." He's so clueless, he seems to think alcohol is just about your liver. My mom has had THREE concussions over the years from injuring herself under the influence of alcohol. She's forgotten to fetch me from school due to alcohol. And that's not just something that I can forgive and forget.
