Here is a good bit of infor on Early Alzheimer's

Damn Lil! I REALLY think you hit it on the head! All has to be considered...but I failed to mention I would get really bizzare phone calls from her at 12am and think to myself. "SHIT! She knows my hours...doesn't she"? And in those calls...(mums the word)...she sounded drunker than a skunk to me. On numerous occasions she's asked me to get my father-in-law (FIL) to make up a list of wine making potions. He makes lotsa homemade wine. I considered a "cover-up" on her part...to her husband and kids. I've probed all possibilities...especially what you said! I've wondered...since she is a wife of a cop, do they forego all the "tests" in his consideration. This might be something BIL isn't willing to share with me. But, again, I may be out of the park here too. I'm making a note of what you said and when I talk to BIL I will mention it all! TY! *hugs*
P.S. Not to say that I think ALL "blackouts" are caused by alcohol...just that you jogged some memories of past bizzare phone calls that I didn't mention to BIL and I doubt he knows about.
Can you say "functioning alcoholic"? My dad was one...even if he didn't think beer was a drug!
