Yes, it was terrible. The little one was difficult to control and overly aggressive, so his parents got called into school. It turned out that both were alcoholic and found nothing wrong in raising their child on alcohol, too. Everything blew up in their face, but it didn't make things easier for the boy. He was too young to understand what was wrong with alcohol, and suddenly everyone fought with his parents over something he perceived as normal/beneficial. It was a disaster and one of the reasons why my father compares obesity to alcoholism. We have those "replace 'food' with 'drugs' and everyone goes crazy" threads for a reason, the mechanisms are the same...
