Myth or Fact?

Definitely.   Way to often.   When I first admitted to having a drinking problem in 2006, never mind a severe drinking problem, my friends, family and co workers were stunned.   I'd been drunk at work for 6 months and no body had noticed.
 
Unfortunately, high tolerance seems to run in my family

Oh yes.  Way too often.  When I finally confessed to my husband of (then) seventeen years that I thought I was an alcoholic, he was surprised.  I'd been drinking a bottle of wine a day for as long as I could remember, and he hadn't noticed.  He knew I drank, but I kept the bottle that lasted four days in plain sight and refilled my glass from the bottles I hid.  But I think another reason I like to drink alone and always at ight is because there's no risk anyone will find me out and judge me.

Myth: Someone who has had too much to drink will show visible signs of intoxication.

Fact: Physical appearance can be misleading. Many people can drink and show no outward signs of drunkenness.

Have you ever tricked somebody into believing you were sober?
