Because they are self centered, sick people. In some cases it might end up being pathological or just out of resentment for their messed up lives, but for all of them it's a way to protect their habit.... to obtain more, to downplay its effects thereby avoiding people trying to stop their drinking, or to deny their actions which would expose their Alcoholism and once again get ppl on their case. Drinking is priority number one and they will protect it at all costs
A number of recovering alcoholics lie. Many lie. That is why a 12 step program like AA is good. Others who went through the program know what it is like. They can see through the lies. They can see through the lies and say, "You are a liar." Sometimes it takes a confrontation by someone who has been there. The same words do not have the same effect from someone who has not been there even though they are just as true!
It is very common for alcoholics to lie. They might lie to preserve their addiction or to avoid facing reality. They might be in denial or not want to be confronted with their problem. They might feel ashamed of their problem, as well.
