    I have never seen that, what you are probably referring to are high functioning alcoholics, alcoholics who manage to present a solid facade, while behind the scenes their issues are building up until everything blows up.

    High functioning alcoholics should be rebranded as explosive alcoholics, all it takes is a small mistake and everything unravels.
