Rod - I agree with a lot of what you say, but this part must be ammended, "People drink in excess to 1. forget what they've done, and 2. what those things might say about who they are"
Some people drink to forget what OTHERS have done to us. Drinking is a big bad coping tool used by a lot of people with PTSD. It's emotional anesthesia. I'm NOT advocating it - just stating a fact.
