Our whole family is basically alcoholic. I didn't realize my sister was bad about it I til last time I went up to Indiana to visit. But also my brother drinks a lot and I've battled pretty severe issues for the last 25ish years.

My parents weren't exactly mean but I can remember more than a few times at like 14 years old driving them home from their friends' house after a heavy evening of them drinking.

I'm personally trying to get back on the wagon after being sober for 6 months and then fucking it up. I'm at a crossroads of "I have these 2 ipas left and then I'll stop" and "I should get back I to brewing wine."
