That being said, I have also witnessed strange episodes when someone is abusing alcohol too. I have seen these blowups and strange behaviors in blackouts. Blackouts are scary because a person acts strange and genuinely doesn’t remember what they said or did. And some can get real mean and verbally abusive.

Years ago a friend told me “if you argue about alcohol with a spouse/partner THERE IS A PROBLEM”. She left her husband and he died of alcoholism “Young”.

Same with a friend I had, died at only 50 years old. I tried to help her and even went to meetings with her. She kept going back to drinking.

You can’t make a person stop.

Now when I come across this problem be it IRL or on the net I distance for my own mental health.
