I happen to be a victim of those whose's dad was an alcoholic. He never came home any day without being drunk.
I never liked to see my dad or even introduced him to my friends because if you get too close to him you would know he is a drunk.
When he wakes up in the morning he takes some shot of a mixture of gin and moringa. He says it is meant to release the body of disease and make you more healthy. We all know him so we don't even argue about it because I remember the last time I tried telling him that we were taught alcohol is very harmful to the brain and it slows you down, expected a positive response he went into the bathroom took his bath, wore his close and drove off. He didn't drop me off at school and he also didn't give me any money so I could take a cab.
I was perplex by his reaction because I expected him to say something but he didn't. I went to my mom and told her about it and she too also perplexed, told me not to say such to my dad next time so as not to anger him into beating me.
She narrated how charming and good looking my dad used to be when he was in his 20's, but after he was defraud and lost the company he was managing, he lost hope of ever getting back on his feet but my mom really loved him and was ready to support him because she believes that one day he would rise up from the ashes and get back to his feet again and when that day comes all her efforts would be worth it.
Alcoholism made my dad get rejected from all jobs he applied, he was even rejected by the bar manager after about 3 months, they said he drank too much and would need others to start cleaning up after him when he starts making a mess in the bar every night. So he was dismissed.
Back then I made a research about the effects of alcohol and I discovered it affects the worm in your body or brain I can't really remember which but it slows down your thinking ability thereby making you unproductive. No one takes a drunk seriously, they always expect you to not be in the right state of mind so even if you are saying something good they would assume it to be rubbish and probably even laugh over it.
My childhood wasn't what I wanted it to be because my dad was never there, I see my friends playing with their dad but I had no such opportunity.
Drinking alcohol has no merit, don't let anyone deceive you. It's a killer and it reduces you until you become an empty vessel.
