So, are children of alcoholics the same as children of parents who drink everyday? I think theres a difference between alcholism and drinking everyday. But i do agree with your point.

My friends mother is an alcoholic and its so hard to be her friends because she is very down and low. She has a roof over her head, earns enough money, but still finds things to moan about. Do you think this is due to being bought up within a household thats fueled by alcohol?

Yes I was alcohol dependent, I needed to drink everyday, that is what alcoholism is Conzors
It is a depressant so I can see why her mood would be low, you can still function yet there are long term physical and mental health issues associated as as well as disruptions to 'normal' family life.
I used to kid myself it didn't have an impact, I was lying to myself.
Like you I fell into the glass, 2 glass, half a bottle, oh may as well finish this quite easily.
