       Bob's Alcoholism

       Would anyone have liked to have seen Bob's alcoholism be a
       subplot of season 4?
       Alcoholism is a serious disease; most people struggle with it
       their whole lives.  After the season 4 premiere, I expected Bob
       to be a man with good intentions, but his alcoholism makes him a
       constant screw up.

       IMO Bob would've struggled with his addiction the same way Nick
       from FTWD struggles with his. It's not something a person can
       just turn off at will, therefore I do believe it would've been
       more realistic for him to be looking for it at all costs like a
       true addict.

       True.  I guess Bob was keeping a bottle of alcohol in that box
       when Sasha thanked him for saving her life.  Maybe that scene
       was made to imply that Sasha was Bob's inspiration to "bury" his
       alcoholism and she had become his reason to stay sober.
       Had Bob not been bit at the food bank, would he have relapsed
       and gotten drunk on the communal wine the group drank at Father
       Gabriel's church?
       Who is Nick and what is this FTWD that you speak of?   ???
