My father rest his soul, was good father, but unfortunately he was an alcohoilic. My family told me he was what was known as a "Timed Alcoholic." He would come home from work at 5pm and drink til we had supper at 7pm. Have any of you ever experienced this or know of this type of alcoholic?

This is the first time I've heard of timed alcoholics, because mostly fathers get home already drunk and they wouldn't have the sense of time or at least the sense of responsibilty to see that's it's already very late. At least he drinks at home and you wouldn't have to worry where he is, how he would get home knowing that he can't even stand on his own shoes; 'cause that's what I experienced back during the drinking days of my father.

I've never heard this term either, but it makes a little sense.  Just like people have specific times when they like to smoke, alcoholics have certain times when they drink.  Hopefully it's at the end of the day when they have no more driving to do.  That'd be bad.

I think what determines an alcoholic is when they drink all day. Atleast the timed ones can go a few hours without it.
