Some get down right "mean" when they drink, some get down right mean when they are not drinking or are sober. Either way, often the individual is self absorbed in the addiction of drinking itself which means the child doesn't experience a normal upbringing.

I don't know if I agree with that completely. I think it depends on how much they drink and their level of functioning afterwards. My dad took me fishing and boating, and hunting and he was drinking but he wasn't drunk and very focused on me at that time. Most alcoholics it takes a lot to get them drunk and they can function well on the amount of alcohol that would put me on the floor. So I don't think this applies to everyone that is an alcoholic. Just my opinion though.
