true alcohol is bringer of confidence but at what cost? thank you for writing about such poem, not easy to write, i know because i have family who suffer from alcohol addiction and it is very hard on their children and on the family as whole. it is funny actually, i grow up thinking they are so much fun but then i become of age and learn the truth and think back to my childhood and realize it was a lot of problems, but i did not see. for example i had fond memory of my aunt taking me to park and buying sweets after but what i did not realize at the time was at the park she fell asleep because she was drunk, and i did not know because i was having fun playing with other kids, and she bought sweets and told me to tell my mom and my dad that i had fun at the park and she kept saying that and i thought it was weird but i thought she just wanted me to let them know that i had fun today but really she was trying to cover up that she had been sleeping. thank you for writing such poem
