My mom has always been a wine drinker, usualy it was only one or two glasses a week, normal, but recently it's gotten worse. She once went through a bottle and a half in a single night and generally drinks half to three quarters a bottle per night. I've gotten really worried recently and when I bring this up with her she blows up about needing something to numb herself with. It gets really bad on nights when she doesn't have any or we're out of wine. She become short tempered and quick to explode. I hate to say it, but I almost like my mom better when she's drunk, she's not mad, or angry at anyone, she doesn't belittle and shout. I don't know what to do and I'm scared for her.
