I post on another site occasionally. It is strickly a support site for children are caring for elderly family members , NOT medical in anyway. So one person did a thread about MIL who is in late 70s and is experiencing falls and obnoxious behavior. The person wrote at length about the behaviors and mentioned sort of incidentally that the MIL frequently had a few drinks when this happened. I went into nurse mode and said "have you ever considered the possiblity that your MIL might be an alcohol, it is more common than you think". The poster also said they had taken the MIL to doctor more than once and the doctor could not find anything wrong with her. I mentioned that they need to take note about how much alcohol was actually consumed and go back to the doctor and tell the doctor about it. My post was deleted as inappropriate. :uhoh21: I guess I forgot where I was, here those remarks would not even raise an eyebrow.

Lol, I often make the mistake of thinking people are interested in ideas toward a solution and forget that many times all they want is to complain and get cyber hugs.
