What amazes me is the range of consequences alcohol has on different people. We hear about functional alcoholics who we'd probably never know they had a problem unless they told us, then you have the other end of the spectrum where people have gone through living hell for years, lost everything, including their health. And the depths people will go to get alcohol when they are in the throws of addiction. Also, doesn't matter who you are, old, young, male, female, it doesn't care. Its been an eye opener for me, that is for sure.
