I need some Xmas advice on alcoholics. We’ll all be drinking but how do you deal with a close relative who wants/has to open a beer first thing in the morning?
- Ask if you're in his will.i_monk
- make sure you have enough beer in the fridge to last the whole day?uan
- more seriously, I would put in some beers, so he doesn't freak out because there is none, but help him moderate his consumption by not drinking to much.uan
- also integrate him into the festivity/family so he feels the support and feels accepted and doesn't fall into the abyss of drunkenness.uan
- Spike their drinks and have them knocked out all day. Peace for everyone.shapesalad
- can't you keep him busy? like make him a driver?
anyway lock him in the basement.******** - Pour the drinks for him/her, use alcohol free booze ;)microkorg
- yeah, give them a task that precludes drinking. don't let them mooch around the house with nothing else to doFax_Benson
- Alcoholics will always find a way to drink. Dear God don't make him the driver. I think shapesalad hit it on the nose, put him to sleep early. Lol Goodlucksea_sea
- All jokes aside, dealing with alcoholics is exhausting, multiples in my family wake up drinking over xmas, if you're not going to join them I'd steer clear.sea_sea

- Thanks guys, I’ve put shape’s suggestion to the family!MrT
- ‘Tis the season. Don’t be so judgmental. If you don’t want them to drink, have an activity planned. If not, leave them be.imbecile
