I almost think you could have a one-question are-you-an-alcoholic test: "Do you have a problem with bottle/can buildup?" I'd bet that non-alcoholics NEVER have that problem. I have struggled with it for years. lol Sometimes it was as if I thought they would disappear if I stuffed them under the bed or in the back of the closets. This kind of weird magical thinking is part of the insanity, I'm sure.
