But was Lip really an alcoholic?


He turned to drinking after the mishap with his professor and he hit rock bottom.

But to say he needed constant AA and can't even sniff a drink, was just really a stretch for me.

It was more than just the professer --- He fell in love with that teacher and when she choose to stay with the husband he got worse They all drank before ,,, It takes something like that to push someone over the edge,,, Initially in the program they want you to stay away from all booze or beer for the 1st 6 months or so,,, It was a pretty accurate representation of AA
