A late friend of mine, a pastor, told me of his alcoholic father, how he used to hide alcohol in different places in the house. He would give the impression that he was off drink while sneaking it from under his bed or wherever else he would hide a bottle. A day came when he searched all his hiding places not realising that he had, had them all and not replaced them. His thirst was driving him crazy so he went into the kitchen cupboard and drank a bottle of disinfectant. It shredded his insides and killed him.

Another dear friend of mine told me of her father’s addiction to alcohol. One day he had problems getting the cork out the bottle. It must have separated leaving a part logged in the neck of the bottle but he was too thirsty to bother with finding a way to get it out. He smashed off the head of the bottle and drank it with all the possible splinters in it. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a ‘wet brain’ until this friend informed me. This is when the abuse of alcohol results in the damaging of the brain affecting such things as hearing or sight etc.
