Britain's alcohol problem.

[Knipples]

As some of you know, my Dad is an alcoholic, a functioning one though because he has a job and gets on with life, just he spends his evenings getting out of his tree. Some evenings he drinks more than others, but I can't remember a single evening in the last 10 years where he hasn't been drunk or on his way to getting drunk.

Anyway, the point I wanted to make is that the price of alcohol wouldn't affect him in the least, because he would buy it anyway due to his dependency on it. He doesn't tend to go out drinking (maybe about a third of the time) he stays home and drinks wine/spirits/beer.

I wish he would accept he has a problem, because he is no longer the Dad he was when I was younger, but I stopped trying to make him see that a long time ago.
