I write about the addiction to alcohol from the bitter experiences of my family members, friends, & folks who were alcoholics. Some were closet drinkers, while others were misbehaving drunks in public, creating a spectacle!
I have much pity & empathy for people with alcohol issues, as my parents were addicts. And lo & behold! It was not pleasant to witness.
