I know about that! Jekyll and Hyde behavior (immediate radical changes in behavior). A notion that your type of alcoholism is different than other people's alcoholism (denial). Vomiting. Diarrhea, sclerosis of the liver. Depression. Laziness. Hypocritical notions. Stunted mental ability. Bloodshot eyes. Inability to function properly in physical tasks. Crying without good reason. Promiscuity. Giving others good reason to distrust (unaccountability) Mentally disturbing episodes (sometimes referred to as dementia). A loss of hand/ eye coordination. A loss of ability to perform menial tasks. Inability to embrace routine (other than laying around and then drinking more). Stinky body odor. Increased diversion to any focus on any thing. A loss of memory. The tendency to lie. Slow or uncoordinated speech. EDIT: (I almost forgot, the capacity and rationale to put cat hair into food, or to somehow taint food with foreign materials . . . on purpose!)
