Yes. Some people say that it is the 18 to 25`s unable to handle their drink.
But how many 30+ are seen fighting in the streets after throwing out time from pubs and nightclubs...plenty of them.
I`m lucky where I live, we have no money-grabbing-greedy nightclubs anywhere near us.
We do have a few good pubs, used by young and old alike. Friday & Sat` nights are the loudest nights. But there are rarely any `fights`.
I`m so glad that I don`t live anywhere near a city, I`ve watched on TV the idots fighting and swearing at each other, then the next day they blame it on the drink. But the very next Friday night they go out and do it all over again.
No...you can keep the city life and its idiots, it`s not for me.
OK rant over.
Have a nice day :-)

Yes. There's nothing worse than trying to deal with someone who's been drinking. No matter what you say or do, it's your fault.You could be standing outside telling him or her the sky is blue, but they'll argue that it's green.
You can try to get them help, but in the end, there is only so much that you can do. They can't be helped unless they want to be helped. Then you face a terrible decision. Should I stay with them & try to keep helping them out, or should I do what's best for me & leave? Don't feel guilty if you decide to leave. It's not a decision that you came to lightly. You can try over & over to do what's best for someone else, but eventually you will have to do what's best for you. You can't live your life trying to save someone else's.
The best person that you can get to talk to the drinker is another drinker. Unless you are a recovering alcoholic or addict, you can't understand the addiction. It's something that's swallowed better & worse people whole, and that's coming from someone who's only watched someone drink themselves into oblivion. If needs be, push them to an AA meeting as gently as possible. Sometimes people need a good hard shove, but sometimes they need to be nudged. You know this person, so you can judge which one they need.

Both my wife and I grew up with this. The week-end would come, the knives and guns would literally come out.
It would be blood and guts until Monday and then talk and brag about it all week.
We swore it wouldn't happen in out family. We have never drank, our children don't drink and our Grandchildren don't drink. No one in the family smokes, there has never been an altercation.
