Whenever I hear that someone is “hiding” liquor bottles, empty or not it’s a big red warning flag of a secret drinker. If he’s admitted that he’s been drinking alone at night when you are not there for the past 2 years, you can bet it’s probably longer.
I try and look at situations from all angles, so I ask myself, why would someone “hide” evidence of drinking? If you are not doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide. If he’s having a drink or two in the evening to wind down, why the need to hide it?
Trusting someone who finds the need to hide empty alcohol bottles, is not someone who should be left alone in charge of children.
Alcoholics lie, and lie and lie…………..more will be revealed in time, like maybe a new hiding spot.
