Hey there, Ladies...I need your advice on something...
I think my future SIL is an alcoholic...At the tender age of 25...Very sad...
It's taken me a year and a half to see it...She thinks she has a problem with "social" drinking (has one, then another, then another), but her fiance and I think it's all the time...Example...
We went out for lunch on Friday, mexican, had a couple mexican beers...Went to Costco, ran to the liquor store, she bought a bottle of wine...By the time I talked to her 2 hours later, bottle of wine is half gone (BIG bottle by the way) and she was sluring her words...
Saturday night she was in a wedding...3 beers, 2 "bumps" (so more than a shot) and 8 glasses of wine later, she's on her hands and knees in the bathroom...All within 4 hours...
The Saturday night before, at the bachlorette party, fiance had to pick her up...WAY too drunk to drive home...She was STILL drunk when I picked her up at 10am Sunday to go shopping...When we went to lunch, 3 beers down to "get rid of the hangover"...
She doesn't see that it's a problem! I'm not one to talk about drinking too much, I DO overindulge every now and then...But there's a difference when you KNOW when to stop...And many times she does this is public...I think she needs to see somebody...I've told her I'd drink O'Douls (non-alcoholic) with her, drink water with her, whatever...
Any thoughts?? Anybody here ever had to deal with this before??
Thanks, ladies!
