Based on the behavior of my AH, I have to agree. I was just thinking about a trip to Florida we went on in January, to see my brother and also to cash in on a stay at a luxury resort that we won in a silent auction for a charity.
Well he was so drunk when we got there to check in, I ran in to do it so I could just get to the room without a scene, but a scene I got anyway. For FIVE HOURS he ranted at me, angry that I had checked in. His mantra was "You USURPED me! I want be the Big Shot!! Why couldn't you let ME be the Big Shot!"
I'm not even kidding. So, what age does that make him? Two?
Seriously, though, I have heard exactly that--that your growth is stunted the minute alcohol takes over your life.
