Wow....my mom's b/f is a "recovering" alcoholic, and I see listerine bottles everywhere. The thing is, he is recovering, but last week my mom and I pulled out 17 empty alcohol bottles. Vodka, Black Velvet, and a pint of wine. Mmmm....

Apparently, it's the "slow recovery" plan.

Not that I can talk... I was supposed to quit smoking 2 weeks ago.

Yeah..hehe. We're talking like every night he has an AA meeting he drinks. I have so many ideas of ways to be mean to him. Got any suggestions? There was one time when he was drunk that I locked the dead bolt, and he unlocked the bottom, so every time he would try and unlock one I would lock the other one. Cause I am mean. It was plenty amusing....I think my friend was here and we couldn't stop laughing at how stupid he was.

Giving him a hard time over this is probably only going to give him more justification to drink. Best to just give him some room until he's ready to do it for real.

I had to grow up with a few alkies and the pure fact is that only they can change their ways... From my experience, we all need to take charge of our own lives and it does make it tough on the rest of us, when someone close to you (either physically or logically) refuses to take care of themselves.

I found to survive, I just left em alone, my Grandfather never did quit drinking and he died in his living room chair from sitting down drunk, lighting a ciggie and dropping it in his lap after he passed out.

I agree, as with others here, had to grow up around drinkers. Just one more stress to deal with as a teenager. I was glad to finally move out and go to college. Unfortunately you can't force them to quit.

But you can put Opti-Clear in their drinks

This is a nasty thing I learned from a bartender when I was a club DJ (waaaay back in the day). If they had a really nasty customer, they'd just put 4 drops in their drink.

You cant see it, taste it, or smell it.

About 15 - 20 minutes after they drink it, bad things happen. The large intestine stops absorbing water and starts to spasm. In english: they get the worst diarrhea/cramps of their life.

As the sage bartender told me "Give them too much and they might puke... you gotta clean that up. Give them just enough and they shit themselves... they have to clean that up".

Geez Bio, get a couple of youngters on here and the legaleez starts to fly.

Sounds like fun...but no. I don't think I would want to do that for the legal reasons and I don't want to smell that in my own home. He doesn't clean up after himself...or his pets....his cat yacked on his scanner and he left it there for a week and then my mom cleaned it off cause she needed to use the scanner. Hehe.

Bio took me to that lounge for my first legal drink at the stroke of midnight. As much Jagger and imported beer as we could drink in 1 1/2 hours.

He told me about that trick that night also.

Have you ever tried it out to be sure if it works?

Hehe....my brother wants to take me out for my 21st B-day, but I don't think I will trust him. He had some Everclear a while back, cause he got it from his friend, and I had just mopped, and there is a bar at the end of the kitchen. Well he came running in and slipped and racked himself. My friend and I were laughing so hard, and she choked on some popcorn. We still laught about that. He is not of the legal limit yet though. He just had his 20th B-day on the 25th. He has been counting down the days.

I've seen it in action.

My manager had never heard of it and I mentioned it one night after the bar had closed and we were sitting there having drinks.

About 6 months later, I got a call in the dj booth. She was in the other lounge in the hotel and was very, VERY upset with a customer up there. Apparently, he was a little more than beligerent, but he was also some VIP so she couldn't kick him out. She wanted me to repeat what I had told her.

She put 4 drops in a glass and told the bartender that no matter what that guy orders... it goes in that glass (the partender didn't notice anything funny about the glass because there's always a few drops of water in them after they go through the dish washer.

She serverd him his next drink in it, and about 15 minutes later he bolted out of the bar and ran for his hotel room. Unfortunately, he was in such a rush to get into his room (and the bathroom within) that he twisted the key the wrong way and broke it off in the lock.

He ran the full lengh of the hotel to the restrooms on the other side. He almost made it too

Housekeeping wasn't impressed with the cleanup they had to do, but my manager was very, VERY happy with me.

Hahaha...that's funny. It would be interesting to see.
