Tough Talk: May 1, 2024

Tough Talk,

I really love my husband and his family.  They are the finest people in our little community.  His younger brother however is a bit of a handful . . . let’s say.  He is very nice until he has a couple beers and then he gets down right mean.  I know my husband loves him, but I just don’t like him around when he drinks.  What should I do TT?  (Proctor, Pennsylvania

Protractor,

The next time he starts drinking, get a bucket of cold water ready.  Be honest with your feelings and tell him he is a nasty drunk which makes him a loser and you want him to leave.  When he ignores you or laughs in your face, dump the bucket on him.  Let me know what happens.  (Also, your little community sounds like a wackfest of losers and squids.)
