I'm an alcoholic and, as of this very day, I've been sober for 365 days. This is hard for me to share because I'm a bit of a private person and I'm also someone who's been known to drink on camera for the amusement of others.

My house was the party house because then I could drink more without having to worry about getting home. And I would drink far more than people would realize, both alone and at parties. Part of being able to hold your booze so well is the ability to lie about how many you've had.

I'd make sure to get rid of empties and usually drink the same beer through stretches... that way no one could keep track of how many I had. Drinking, specifically "craft beer" is considered a hobby so I was able to slip right into an "enthusiast" role and no one batted an eye.
