"
Especially as the disease progressed"
I think that's it^^^^
My xabf, who passed away two years ago due to alcoholism, was horrible to be around if he didn't have alcohol... I assume because he was beginning to go through his withdrawal symptoms.
And when he was drinking, as his disease progressed, I was never even able to tell that he was drunk, or whatever, but I knew he was ALWAYS drinking. His personality didn't really change anymore. It was like he just needed to get enough alcohol into his system to feel "normal" and get his BAC up to what his body was used to.
I'm no expert, but that was my experience.
