My DD & SIL drink too much, it's almost every night & they'll drink approx 7 bottles of lager & then start on the wine, usually start the wine when they finally sit down at night & bring two bottles, & two large glasses through, one each. If by any chance they have not finished the wine before they go to bed they take it up with them. They are not kids, DD 48 & SIL 52, both professional people with two lovely daughters. I've lost count of the number of times I've brought the matter up, sometimes discreetly but mostly not, diplomacy is not my strong point. It always ends up with 'oh here she goes again, we know what we're doing, loads of folk drink like us - you know the sort of thing
I'm worried sick, they've drunk like this for years although DD did stop while she was pregnant & breastfeeding. Please can anyone tell me how I can make them see sense, why don't they see that their bodies are no different to anyone else's & admit to the consequences. How can they put their lives in danger knowing they've got two beautiful girls that could be left without a parent. I've thought of writing to them but not sure that would make a difference either. I really am sick with worry over the situation & I'm open to any suggestions. Thank you for reading
