Absolutely normal. My husband is such a Functional Alcoholic that his upper command thinks his Sh$t doesn't stink. He drinks like a fish, but will be up, dressed in uniform and ready to report for duty on time and ready for action. In the Military, as long as you make your superiors look good, they don't give a damn what you do. I do know that guilt eats him alive, and that is why he spews anger at me. He asked me if I was dating, I told him "I'm married, I don't date".
