    How much can you stand being around people with a drinking problem? Do you take it in stride, or avoid it?

    Just as long as they can handle their liquor (not getting falling down drunk, wanting to fight everybody, or a crying drunk, or just a plain ol stupid drunk etc.) then I can take it in stride.

    I don't like to be around drunks.

    (When I was young and would get drunk myself was the only time I could tolerate other drunks)

    I would rather not be around them but they will have a problem if they try to get behind the wheel. On the hand, it can be kind of amusing if one of your friends/relatives gets a little tipsy on rare occassions as long as they're mellow.

    Yeah, get the video cam out and ask them to dance on top of a card table. Send the results to Americas Funniest Videos - you might win a prize. evil grin

    Got me a down payment on my last car big grin. But that was blackmail, not America's Funniest Videos.

    I probably am because there are a couple in my life. But I don't enjoy their intoxication.

    was with a drunk for 7yrs... actually left him in aruba when the airlines wouldnt let him fly home. I am not sympathetic to them at all. And the response was always, "i have a disease, you wouldnt be mad at me if i had cancer" Guess what, if u had cancer and did not get treatment, then YEAH i would be mad at you
