Dear Amy: I am a man in my early-70′s, and I drink too much. I started when I was 16 and have continued my entire life.
Five or six cocktails each evening is the norm for me. I haven’t looked into Alcoholics Anonymous for the following reason: I don’t have anyone to apologize to. Everything you hear about AA involves atoning for all the people you have hurt, but alcohol hasn’t caused problems for me. I’m a happy drunk. I sit in my chair and drink and watch ball games. It hasn’t caused any marital, family, or legal issues. I never missed work due to a hangover.
You are relying on a five-year-old physical for evidence that you are healthy. Your first step should be to have a thorough checkup; describe your alcohol addiction frankly and honestly with your physician, and ask for advice on how to address it.
