[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 684750, member: 1963"] The alcohol thing is also a "house rules" matter. My mother is an alcoholic who has been in recovery for 40 years. She very occasionally has a half glass of wine, but that is it. I now drink a beer a few times a year, but in 82 I liked to have a beer or two most evenings. My mother told me that my drinking and having alcohol in the house was making her uncomfortable. The rest of the 6-pack went down the drain and I didn't drink again while staying with her. The fact that your son bought a 2 ltr bottle of soda to use as a whiskey mixer points to serious drinking...ie: killing the taste of the alcohol so he can drink to get drunk. Not at all the same thing as buying a bottle of Glenlivet, though I'd blow my stack if my unemployed kid showed up with a bottle of Glenlivet. Stuff costs about 60 dollars a bottle. [/QUOTE]
