Just as I was about to make myself a cocktail.I don't wish this on anyone. We heard that a member of DH's family (and her fiance) are being cared for due to dementia caused by alcoholism. We have been estranged from this person for years - heard it from her sister. We didn't even know they were heavy drinkers but I guess it's a thing.

In Wendy and Bruce case, they both used Coke heavily as well.
Gosh, what a sad ending.
