No offense, but are most divorced men over forty alcoholics?

Asked by Aster (20023points) March 5th, 2013

I see this time and time again both in my family, in my daughter’s family and in the lives of divorced girlfriends . The guys who are either divorced or headed for divorce and over forty are in love with beer. “I drank a case by myself” is what they brag about. The wives cry , beg, pray, and nag them to stop drinking but they won’t. They start before noon and all throughout the day. My ex’s sister has been the victim of drunken boyfriends time and time again. Even my ex MIL married a nice man nine years younger when she was a widow at eighty and he got drunk and slept on the floor in front of her family. Does anyone understand? Has it crossed anyone else’s mind but mine that most, not all, divorced men over forty are alcoholics? Please; no offense to social drinkers and you divorced guys who rarely drink. I know you’re out there.
PS I married a man at 45 who hates alcohol. lol
