      You’ve clearly never known any severe alcoholics

      Edit: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for that to sound snarky. Severe alcoholics tend to have flushed cheeks and a lot of the time the rest of their skin will be red as well. If it is very bad their skin will darken and it will look like they are bruised at all times.

      Other signs include being sweaty as hell constantly, and even if they haven’t been drinking around the time you encounter them you will literally be able to smell the alcohol through their skin

      Source: I have a family history of alcoholism on both sides. Not that I’m straight-edge or anything but alcoholism absolutely terrifies me and I can barely manage a full glass of wine.
