Do you think that as a man and with the very hardcore attitude he has towards others with addictions that he will have a harder time admitting to needing help at all? I certainly get that feeling. It's not like I've never mentioned his drinking before, he just doesn't see it as a problem - he's certainly not shirking his fatherly duties or anything like that, and he would point to things like that if push came to shove I suppose.

I wonder if it makes any difference that he has untreated OCD.

I never even thought about any liquors we might have - I'm sure we have a bottle of Bailey's somewhere, and maybe something else. Yikes. I think they actually have a pretty high alcohol content.
