@kmkb Sounds like our spouses are very similar. My wife never drank very much until the last few years, but it has only gotten worse as her cognitive impairment has worsened. She is in complete denial that she has an alcohol abuse disorder (she would never admit to being "alcoholic"). She does recognize at times that she is "loaded" or has had "too much to drink" but not drunk. She has no desire to limit her alcohol intake or to stop and seems to lack insight that it will worsen her impairment. She is very confrontational and strong-willed and I would have to fight her to take it away. She can still drive and would continue to buy it (I buy it for her just to keep her off the streets for now). Her short term memory is very poor but 10X worse when she drinks. She has told me she doesn't give a f*** if it kills her. I don't think there is anything we can do about it with the attitudes expressed. I'm unwilling to face her wrath should I try to take it away.
