Actually he doesn’t drink once a week. Example. Last night he came over after work it was 8:30pm. Sat on sofa as I was watching a movie. He said I’m making s cocktail would you like one. I said sure but not much. He said I’ll make you a short one. We had two and that was it.

So my father and my mother are full blown alcoholics. They drink almost daily and large amounts. They can’t function without it and crave it. I’m aware of this side of alcoholism addiction.

But what I don’t know much about is the fine line of a drunk and alcoholic.

I’m in a fresh relationship and I’ve never had a man treat me so good and we connect in so many ways.

I raise my two boys and I can go weeks without a sip. I can have a glass or two or a few beers by the pool and not do it again the next day. I can drink so much I blackout. But I don’t drink the next day like I saw with my parents growing up.

My question is this.

My SO is showing he drinks a bit much or too often. I don’t see it making his life unmanageable. His relationships with his family and his job is fantastic. He’s loyal. But I’ve noticed the last few times we have been together we both drank. Once a concert on the weekend. He poured me a drink before we left the house and that was okay. But then drinks the entire concert. Came home and another drink. Is this a problem? I have fun with him and I don’t want to overthink this. But maybe I’m drinking too much also. Confused....
