Adding, I wish I had the strength and courage to be sober at 27. I was not then drinking alcoholically, but had an alcoholic mother and had always said I would never be like her. I never got to her sort of problems, but she was a binge drinker, I was more of a regular drinker. So, I think I drank as much or more than her at her worst, just never during the day, and never was an angry drunk, like she was. So, because I identified her anger and daytime drinking, and hard liquor drinking with her alcoholism, my wine habit snuck up on me.
