I doubt very much that he's only having two beers a day.
Alcoholics are experts at deception and will top up enough to stay in their comfort zone. More than likely there's a drop stashed away somewhere. Act now...... and get him off to AA; then a doctor to treat his depression.
There's not really enough there to base an opinion.
At first it seems you're describing the season; then becomes an exhausted frail woman, who's on the run, out near woop woop (who's name happens to be Summer).
Nothing worse than sitting in a bar or restaurant and talking about the weather or what a lovely colour the ceiling is.
It doesn't necessarily have to be rocket science conversation....... just something that can flow on to make the occasion enjoyable. Mind you......... yacking on and on about the same topic for the entire night can be just as tedious.
Well we have to be nice to our tourists........ they are our bread and butter after all. And that bloke did the right thing and took his empty stubbies with him.......... unlike a lot of 'em.
Well. It just goes to show how different we can all be.
I'm a "morning" type of person...... always have been. The moment the eyes open I'm out of the cot and into it while the ideas are still fresh in the head. (Mind you, it takes 3 cuppas and 6 smokes to really get going!) By the evening I'm a spent force.
Even right now (3.30pm) I may as well give up on this pic I'm working on. The imagination is fading by the...... minute and......... I think............ I........... need a .......... nother..... cu....
I have to be blunt and say there is nothing, and I mean nothing that you or anyone else can do to get him dry. It's got to be his decision and his only.
The loss of his son has obviously triggered off a severe bout of depression; and hence the drinking. At least he acknowledges the problem and it's out in the open. At this stage, AA meetings would be a complete waste of time............ he has to do something about that black mongrel dog hanging around. It's a catch 22 situation...... the depression can be treated; but only if he's off the grog.
I guess the main thing you can do is to keep giving him love, support and encouragement. And let him know in no uncertain terms that he's got two choices: It's either you..... or the bottle.
Otherwise it will only get worse. I wish you well.
