Pink Girl,
What you have described about TipToe is very much what the alcoholic personality is like. Maybe those who say that when an alcoholic takes a drink that drink takes a drink and another and another and another and so on are correct. So if he doesn't take the first drink he will not get drunk. Make sense? However, TipToe may very well not be an alcoholic but a social drinker who just enjoys her booze a little too much. I find it hard to believe that a hamster could be allergic to alcohol. My guess is that when she gets to my house and finds nothing to drink but beer (my husband buys a 6 pack that probably will last a year), she will not even miss it. My A.A. group is eagerly waiting to meet her and the pictures I have shown them remind us of what it was like and that is one of the things that keeps us sober.
Love & hugs,
Marlys
