My best friend can be kind of a tool when he is drinking alcohol.  I think that he forgets to chill out sometimes and says stuff that is upsetting and does not think it through when he is saying is.  Recently this occurred when talking about politics.  In general we have the same beliefs but he put it over the top.

My buddy can be an asshole when he is drinking. I was just expressing his in the hit. I guess you are to help me with that situation? Not sure how you are supposed to do this but give it a shot.

Have you tried talking to him about his drinking? Is he otherwise a pretty good friend when he's sober?
assistant

Yeah he is a good friend and it doesn't happen all that often but often enough. He knows that he has to cut down. He has talked about laying off the booze but once he starts, he is the kind that drinks to get drunk. How old are you and where are you from? male or female?

I'm a early 30s woman from Michigan, and I actually used to have a problem with my drinking as well. People kind of pushed the problem aside though because drinking is so socially acceptable. But maybe if you talk to him right after it's happened and offer to be a sober friend with him, it could help.

I am not too far from you. In Minnesota. That is not bad advice and could probably help us both to cut back on the sauce a bit We like our beer up here in the north. =0) What do you do for a living?

Yeah, I get that, that's why it was so hard for me to quit. I hit it pretty hard for 13 years before I finally got sober! It's a tough thing to do when everyone else is drinking. It's just getting to that realization that you don't have the same relationship as alcohol as everyone else. Hopefully if you have a chat with him he can get to that point. I'm just staying at home with my kid and homeschooling her right now since the schools are closed.

That is noble. This damn covid is sure a pain in the ass here and across the country. Our school is going to all distance learning starting Monday. YUCK! Everyone will be home schooling

Ours as well, I just decided to do homeschooling at the beginning of the year so that I wouldn't have to deal with all the back and forth of the districts. I'm hoping they can somehow get a handle on things sooner rather than later because everything is just getting so bad again.
