    im getting concerend about my sister she HAS to drink every night a least 1 bottle of wine but usually 2 , she stays out all night 2-3 times a week drinking. she gets awful moods if i wont drive her to the shops to get it, she flys in to rages if i ever mention anything about her drinking habits, and says its none of my business , and im only saying it cause i dont drink ( i dont drink due to medication i have to take), im worrying more and more about her, she lost her last job because she was tking days off 'ill' which was just a hang over. she is working now in a kitchen at a hotel when she finishes work she sits at the bar drinking instead of going home, she spends almost most of her wages on booze. like i said i dont know what to do my mum has tried talking to her aswel, but she gets so nasty when we say anything, its only cause we care:confused:

    she has quite a serious problem then. Because alcoholism isn't just about how much you drink, it's how much it affects your life. At the moment she's losing jobs, alienating family and seriously damaging her health. A lady I know died at 36 from liver disease and she was considered a moderate drinker - but she drank at least two glasses of wine every night...
