In my experience, alcoholics have to lie to feed their addiction. I think that my husband actually believed his own lies. It's a twisted thought process, and it's difficult to stay sane when someone is insisting that up is down and down is up.
Look around on this board - you'll read stories of alcoholics
swearing that they haven't been drinking - after blowing a .30 on a breathalyzer, after being caught, in the act, of swigging from a liter bottle of vodka, after passing out on the lawn "on their way home from AA".
My gut was never wrong about the alcohol.
My AH has proved himself, over time, to be an unreliable witness when it comes to his alcohol consumption.
