(My fellow country music fans will know where that line comes from.)


Is it just me, or does it seem like alcohol is just a part of daily life for a lot of men?

Hmmm...I'm having a mental block about that song lyric.

I know the lyrics but I'm not a fan of the song or the artist! :p tehe

I guess having alcohol in the house and popping one open after work wouldn't necessarily mean they are an alcoholic to me. No more than someone who needs their coke every day. But I would say ANY activity that impairs normal function in life is not healthy. I.e., let's say man who comes home and pops open a beer every night but is still able to function - go out and mow lawn... take out garbage... help get the children ready for bed... etc. is okay... BUT let's say WIFE complains and hates going to bed every night with a man who has alcohol on his breath... THAT is where it's creating a problem and needs to be either curved or stopped. Just as I put away the computer the evenings I have company... I'd consider myself to have an addiction if I NEEDED to still have my computer up even with company around... ANYTHING can be an addiction if it impairs normal life activity - in MY humble opinion! :p

I'm medicine and I am poison.

I think that the reason why I worry about it is because my father could actually fuction normally from what I remember.
