Tom,

Perhaps you are a little defensive over alcohol use, there is no anger here. I commented on the post and I'll remind you, you asked me to. I will take exception to your characterization of my knowledge of these people, I'm around here a very long time and have more personal knowledge about this sickness than most. I do find you humor pleasant, but I do get "grumpy" when a post goes off topic. Even in the above reply you continue using vague references to alcohol use. I'm sorry, your posts do not come off as well balanced on the issue, hence, in my view, myopic. Which, was directed at the thread. This is not personal, unless you feel the need to take it there. As a final thought, you have no right to characterize any of this as "a tough personal" problem. You have not seen enough here to make a statement like that.
