That sounds so similar to my ABF's latest phase. He's a musician, and sometimes would have one or two of his buddies over to listen to music and drink the night away. But after his DUI, he started bingeing on his own. He used to drink every day, with the neat trick of drinking 2/3 of a glass, then refilling it 5 or 6 times. How the heck am I supposed to count drinks like that? Oh, right. I stopped that noise.
As to the not-knowing when the next one is coming.... I can't stand the pressure. It's one of the factors of my leaving (tomorrow!). He still does not get it, and I no longer care whether he does or not.
