Sounds like the last thing the whackadoodle neighbor lady needs is alcohol (or more of it)!

I was thinking the same thing. What is it about alcohol that makes some people do crazy things. 

That poor guy. He certainly doesn't need to deal with her after having a heart attack.

True, in which case no one should be buying alcohol for her, especially if she takes psych meds. They can be a deadly combination.

My DD takes several psych meds and if she (rarely) adds alcohol to the mix, she's even more depressed and can't do anything but cry, although she does't know why she's crying. And I'm talking hysterically crying.

Also, alcohol can effect other meds she may take.

@KingstonsMomi doubt he will be doing any more shopping for her but she is old enough to take responsibility for her own decisions....he was just doing what he presumed was a favor to help a neighbor.

Sorry to hear that your daughter has serious emotional problems.I imagine you have a lot of worries and stress over that....so hard to watch our children struggle.

She's a neighbor and I'm pretty sure he knew she had a drinking problem.  Who knows why she told that lie, she might not even know but it's done.  There's nothing for him to be concerned about.

I know he was just trying to be a good neighbor and you're right, it's her responsibility if she chooses to drink.

I hate that he had to be subjected to this allegation, especially hearing that he's lonely and reaches out to others for company. He may hesitate now, but I hope not.

Thank you for the kind words re: DD, you're right, it's so hard when there's nothing you can do to help.

@Imaoldhippie@We told him not to visit with her but I think sadly that he is lonely and just needs company so I don’t know if he will follow our suggestion.I agree that the lady has problems but have never met her so I can’t say anything about my thoughts.

@dex  You and your neighbor sound like very nice people. Sometimes it's hard to know whether to get involved or not.
