would this be a bad gift for a recovered alcoholic

Well, it is an item I would not send to anyone who has been dependent in any way relative to alcohol. It only takes 1 lovely bottle ... and these are lovely to even look at and the product is excellent...to drop off the wagon, so to speak. No, I would not purchase, remember this is just my opinion having come from a family that had this problem at one point in their lives.

.....yes....what kind of person would buy an alcoholic gift for a recovering alcoholic?
1122188
First an alcoholic person is NEVER recovered, they are in a constant state of recovering, one day at a time. One sip is all it takes and they are now an active alcoholic again. This would be one of the worst gifts you could possibly give to an alcoholic

yes,i believe these chocolates would be a very bad gift for an alcoholic (you are never really recovered). The alcohol in the candies is substantial and definitely `reflects each featured liquor. If I had this disease ,I would be tempted to buy a whole bottle of each and every flavor. DONT DO IT

This would be a horrible gift for one. two of these can give you a buzz easy.

They contain small amounts of alcohol and would be a terrible gift for that person. Do not get a recovered alcoholic alcohol themed gifts.

I bought this for a gift myself and my husband was/is very happy with it. We used it more in the summer than we are now though but when we used it, it was on a daily basis. It has not shown any signs of cracking. I would feel comfortable telling you to buy it as a gift. My sister bought one for herself but was not too happy with using it but not because of it's quality, she thought she would like it but she didn't try hard enough to find a fruit combination that she would like. What I am saying is that make sure the person you are buying it for already likes that kind of stuff. I knew that my husband would and he did.

Thanks for your feedback. I am getting this as a gift for a very particular person. So this really helps.

No. Consult with your pharmacist. If it had alcohol in it the law would require it to listed.

Unfortunately I don't have the bottle personally to help out. It was given a a Christmas gift last year.

I think it could be, mine was broken when it arrived but I managed to fix it before giving it away (it was a gift) I think it would be a great gift but check it over to make sure it's operable before giving it.

If he has patience, and someone to help him with the special glue you'd need to use, then yes. If he has a short attention span, and doesn't like detail work this might not be the right gift for him. Merry Christmas!

I gave this to someone as a gift. I don't have any direct experience with the item.

Absolutely not. This thing broke after two shots. Since bought it early as a Christmas gift I could not return it after 30days

It is a type of "re-gifting". But, if you are already a Seller on Amazon and do not have a receipt for the store because it was a gift, Amazon is an opportunity of sorts to sell something you will not use and then buy something you might use. (But, if it is used or refurbished the Seller must disclose that information in the listing.)

I'm sorry to say that I didn't put it together but I did watch my daughter and son-in-law. They are really good at that sort of thing but it was a challenge. Find someone to do it or at least help you....and the idea of a drink isn't bad either. Ha Ha

it will be cured when adding your favorite liquor, wines, etc. At present I have my favorite Port in it for almost 2 months. Im having my first taste on Thanksgiving Day. However, I did a taste couple days ago, definitely enjoyed my Port.

Receiving this as a gift could bring you happiness. Buying it for yourself will make you feel sad and you are probably already afraid. I would suggest buying a heavy claw hammer; it's a most satisfying purchase.

I really don't know about the packaging - it is possible that the "old" label is the one in the picture and the "new" label is the one in the title. However, if your purpose in taking this supplement is to assist in recovery from alcohol, I found it useless. It does increase the effect of alcohol, but it takes so long that by the time you realize it you are more drunk than you wanted to be (which I find dangerous). In addition, by increasing the effect of alcohol, it also gives you a terrible hangover when you wouldn't have had one if you weren't taking the supplement. Finally, I found it caused me to be nauseated a lot, even when I wasn't drinking. I wouldn't recommend it for "Recovery".
