My uncle was a bad alcoholic and became a social drinker later in life. Don’t alcoholics frequently return to normal drinking?
No. They don’t become normal drinkers; it is hard to say about your uncle without more information. Most of the time when I have been asked this question I find that the person is just in the very late stages and they have become very toxic. They will be severely depressed with a long list of health problems secondary to alcoholism. Check out the chart on my website.
