Is it common for Jehovah's Witnesses to turn to alcohol when they realize the Watchtower is a scam

kaik

In Czech Republic the consumption of alcohol is really high and one of the highest per capita in the world. But I know several JW there who suffered from liver cirrhosis and died from it. Women after book study were drinking as well especially hard liquior. My JW aunt and uncle were heavy drinker, my uncle had drinking problem and as kid he used to come to our place passed out because his JW wife would be screaming. That was common.

During the transition of learning TTATT to freedom, which took a few years, I found alcohol a welcome relief. So, yes, to your question.

I still drink wine with my meals, but my consumption of alcohol had dropped significantly since my jw days.
