You are better off without it. I don't allow alcohol in my home at all. My late FIL was an alcoholic, I heard stories regarding my wife's childhood where she witnessed situations between her Mom (who has never drank) and her dad. In my family on my mom's side, my Papaw, all 5 of my Uncles, and my Aunt were what I would label Alcoholics, they drink something every day. My Aunt- my mom's only sister, gave up her first born child (my sister), so that she could live the partying/ alcohol life. She married 5 times. Died at the age of 47 from sclerosis of the liver. She was a beautiful woman in her youth, reduced to a swollen blob in her final years. Sad to watch. Those are just some of the reasons I don't drink, and I don't allow it in my home. My children will grow up and say that they never saw me drink, smoke, or do any kind of drug. If Dad does it, it will be difficult to denounce it when they want to do it.
The one thing I did when I was younger was I put a lot of ink on my body. It's not your typical "decided to get a tattoo, but I can't decide, came out of a tattoo book" ink. Ive seen both fear and uneasiness from adults when the ink is out in the open- pools, etc. My goal is to get it removed someday, bc again, I don't want my children saying "well you did it." I dread the thought of that.
