Alcoholics often are experts at hiding it | WSBT South Bend - Your Local News Leader | Your Health Matters: "At one point during her quarter-century as an alcoholic, Carol Colleran would down at least 10 beers each weeknight, more on weekends. Then she would show up the next morning at her job in hospital management, feeling fuzzy and lousy.

Colleran, now 72 and sober, was that good at hiding it."
