My sister was an alcoholic. She passed away as a result of her drinking in 2004. Of the three remaining sisters, one refuses to touch alcohol. The youngest sister and I do drink wine occasionally. I chose to drink in moderation in front of my sons because I, too, feel they need to see a responsible adult enjoying an adult beverage in a responsible way. I have maybe one glass of wine a week and have had that wine, also, in front of my sisters children. Of her three young adult children one drinks occasionally, one never ever drinks and the oldest is dealing with an alcoholic wife, so he rarely drinks. Poor choices with alcohol have negatively effected many generations of my extended family, so I think it is good for my sons to see a bottle of alcohol in the house that is not demonized.

Those last two lines sums up my feelings on alcoholism perfectly.
