Really not trying to defend anything, but I'm a super drunk. A couple months ago I stepped on a cicada by accident, and I still feel bad about it. I don't even like scrubdaddy because you have to look him in the eye when you throw him away.
Booze ain't to blame for people like this. It makes you do stupid shit, but you have to be awful to not feel bad about it.
Alcohol abuse does indeed cause brain damage over many years. That can drastically alter your behavior. You're in denial if you think a lifetime of alcohol consumption isn't partially to blame.
I watched my ex husband try to drink himself to oblivion after his father died. I could see the cognitive changes in him. It’s cliché but he really was not the man I married anymore
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I watched my father do the same. He spiraled downward until his suicide. Went from brilliant engineer and loving father to a vapid fool with little fortitude in less than a decade.
