When two roommates moved in together, they discussed their drinking habits and agreed on a six-month lease. However, as one of them stocked up their liquor cabinet, the other roommate became increasingly uncomfortable. It wasn't until a shocking confession that the truth came to light: the roommate was a recovering alcoholic. Now, the roommate with the liquor cabinet is faced with a difficult decision: should they move their alcohol out of the apartment or find a middle ground?
