Drink, baby, drink

I traced the men's whiskey intake, because it seemed a ridiculous amount. Here's a synopsis:

Before lunch, Jamie, Edmund and Tyrone all have one normal drink and one "big drink" (a double?). Then Edmund and Tyrone come back from town and it appears that Edmund has had "more than a few drinks" and Tyrone has had "a lot to drink...slightly glazed look in his eyes and a trace of blur in his speech." I'm assuming that's around half a bottle of whiskey. Mary pours them each a drink when they get home but because it's watered down, Tyrone grabs a fresh bottle of whiskey. One bottle down. After dinner in Act Four, Tyrone is described sitting alone playing solitaire with a whiskey bottle that is three-quarters empty. Both of his sons are out- Jamie never came back to town and Edmund fled his mother's doped up company. Edmund returns first, drunk to presumably the same level as his father because "like his father he carries it well." Together, Edmund and Tyrone have three more drinks each and finish the bottle. Two bottles down. Edmund takes another drink, and enter Jamie, "drunk as a fiddler's bitch." Tyrone goes out to avoid him. Jamie and Edmund take a drink together, then Jamie continues with two more big drinks. He passes out in a temporary drunken stupor and Tyrone comes back in to grab another drink. The three men pour one more drink each, but the sight of Mary strung out is so depressing that they neglect to finish it.

So in house, the men finish more than two bottles of whiskey. Out of house, they consume what I assume is an equivalent amount in order to get that drunk, maybe even more on account of Jamie. Altogether, they must have killed at least five handles of whiskey in the space of about twelve hours. I think we can safely designate all three Tyrone men alcoholics.
