Salengot, you probably wouldn't be viewing this video to begin with you if you weren't concerned about your own drinking or how drinking in your childhood affected you...

This is a GREAT clip - thanks for sharing.....Alcohol seems to be part of our society, which is why so many families are in a state of turmoil. Peace. JW
