Hey wanttobehealthy ---
OK, here I come with a 'minority opinion' again. I'm not sure where this one has come from, but here goes................
Is this a symptom of alcoholism....? I dunno, is it......? Who knows; mebbe yes; mebbe no. I kinda wanna land on the side of the 'no.'
Sometimes I think all the stuff we may wanna blame on alcohol, or drugs, well, they may just be..............part of the 'human condition.'
The thought (answer?) that went roaming around my brain while reading your OP was, regardless of the alcohol, perhaps he's just doing what a lot of (mainly dishonest) folks do............: blame/accuse others of doing just what they have been doing........yeah....?
Anyway, just a thought..............
