[QUOTE="SeaGenieTx, post: 674370, member: 18773"] Thank you all for such kind words. My brother had drinking problems going back to a very early age (high school). In his early 20's he got a DUI and kept drinking thru his 50's. He was a good person until he got drunk, then he would become very mean. He was the type who would just drink and drink until he passed out. Even his good friends told me after his death that they cared for him and tried talking to him but he was a full blown alcoholic. They stopped inviting him on fishing trips or over for dinner because his drinking was embarrassing and they always ended up having to take care of him after he got to the point he couldn't even stand up because he'd get so drunk. I honestly think there is an "addictive gene" that runs in families as my dad was a heavy drinker too. I remember several instances when I was little when my dad came home late at night so drunk he would be swaying when he sat down on the couch. My mom would get so upset and then I'd be sent to my room while they argued about him not calling, dinner was cold and why should she even bother.... My dad and some business associates took his boat out one day and they all got so drunk they ran the boat onto a reef and sank it. It was "good times" my dad said. [/QUOTE]
