Sounds like you're willing to live with it for the moment and may have little experience of alcoholics. Eventually, it will wear a bit thin or there will be some incident.

BTW, how does this affect your wife's behavior? The reason I ask is that everybody in the family has a role to play - otherwise alcoholics would die a lot sooner.

Agree with others .. with an alcoholic in the house, protect yourself at all times, including financially

Yeah my wife has an uncle like that. Funny story - we are visiting for 2 weeks so we walk to the market to get a few things and my wife buys some Thai whiskey for the Uncle. I rebuke her and say why do you encourage him by buying him whiskey - but him some milk or something healthy. She looks at me as serious as a heart attack and says "what's wrong with you? Drunk people not drink milk!"

I almost wet myself I was laughing so hard!
