    Children od Alcoholics Show on Tonight BBC1.

    Hi All,

    Just a heads up for all those in Ireland and UK. A lot of us are children of alcoholics or have children ourselves.
    Maybe some of you might be interested in this Programme airing tonight,

    Brought up by Booze: A Children in Need Special


    Wednesday 11 November
    10:45pm - 11:50pm
    BBC1
    When Calum Best was a child, he'd carry his dead-drunk father, football legend George Best, home from the pub. It seemed the normal thing to do for a boy who spent his life trying to win his alcoholic dad's love and attention. Says Calum Best, in this affecting Children in Need special, "I didn't know anything different. Our relationship was me, him and alcohol." Calum Best is a tabloid staple, well known for his volcanic private life and for being unable to spell "celebrity" when he took part in ITV1's cretinous reality show, Celebrity Love Island. But it's hard to judge him for his very public shortcomings as he talks about his childhood and the father who would disappear on benders, leaving his small son alone and forgotten. Best talks to the children of alcoholic parents and their stories are almost unbearably moving as they discuss chaotic lives filled with broken promises, the desperate need for love, the mental cruelty and, sometimes, the violence from drunk mothers and fathers.

      Hiya hOney, thanks for the heads up on that.
      How have you been keeping? I was listening to Leonard Cohen last night and you came to mind.
      Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?
