Who drinks more alcohol Men or Women

In my experience in life, I have noticed that men consume more alcohol than women.

I was married to an alcoholic for 13 years, and that man could drink a lot. On his days off, he would wake up in the morning, and open a beer, and that was the day. It was one after another.

Once he ran out of a case of beer, he would make me get to the store and get more, and if I didn’t want him to drink more, I would be beaten. So, I had to do it. Once he had more beer, he would continue until he passed out for the night, then when waking in the morning, it started all over again.

Soon, he moved on to not only beer, but vodka as well. Then, it was drinking even during work, until he showed up so drunk at a movie studio, that his boss had to call me to come get him.

The abuse, and drinking got to be so out of hand, finally he lost his job, then we divorced. He tried to quit after he left, and did good for a while I guess. He then moved on to another State, I heard he got a motel room with a girl he met, and they both decided to do some drinking that night, as well as shoot up some sort of drugs.

Well, the girl overdosed and died, and they say he got scared, and shot up some drugs too, and lost his life together with her.

This is a true, and sad story of alcoholism, and what a devastating impact it can have on someone.

In my experience in life, many of the Uncles in my life, were heavy drinkers too. I use to visit one of them all of the time, in a home, where there were many men, young and old, and some women that got caught up in the devastating world of alcohol. They were so bad, they could not even talk right anymore. The alcohol went to some of their brains, and it ruined them. My Uncle owned a car lot at one time, and was well on his way into becoming a very wealthy man, but then the demons of alcohol took him over, and he wound up dying at the home from his addiction. Although I have known a few women that were very heavy drinker as well, I have to say that in the long run, from my experience, it has been the men that drank more, than the women, and it is such a sad waste of a life, when it takes you over.

I don’t have anything against anyone having a drink or two from time to time but, please know that when it gets out of control, please get help. The results can be damaging not only to yourself, but to your loved ones as well.
