I’m not a drinker but when MIL visits for a weekend she seems to drink an excessive amount. The last occasion she came to visit she had a whole bottle of Baileys, a bottle of wine and half a bottle of Malibu in one evening. Following night she had another bottle of wine, the rest of the Malibu and went home the following day. DH doesn’t bat an eyelid as he said that’s not a lot compared to what she used to drink when he was growing up. When she comes to visit it’s like a holiday for her as she lives quite far so she says she treats herself which I can understand. I was concerned last time she came as she stopped at Sainsbury’s to get the alcohol and had to fight the urge to take a swig of the baileys before driving to ours (she has been done for drink driving in the past). At home she doesn’t drink during the week as she is doing Slimming World but can easily drink a whole bottle of gin in one evening at the weekend as well as a bottle of wine. She argues gin is not high in alcohol compared to other spirits and as it’s usually a flavoured gin she can drink it straight. She has mentioned in the past she doesn’t have an alcohol problem but she is single and lives on her own so I worry she might be struggling, although DH thinks her drinking has improved.
