Is this alcoholism or just tacky? At restaurant, husband will

Tacky but not necessarily alcoholic

I always order extras at weddings because you know it will be another huge wait next go around.

Seems a bit thirsty but not tacky. Also seems like he’s tickled by what he thinks is a winning Life Hack. Let it go, OP.

How long have you been married? How did you not notice this whilst dating?!

IT TAKES AT LEAST ONE HOUR TO METABOLIZE ONE AVERAGE DRINK.

So if you're driving in an hour, you can only have one.

Drinking the second one soon after the first WILL NOT SPEED UP METABOLIZATION.

Idiots.

Don't eat that fast! Dinners are like 2-2.5 hours at a minimum if you're doing appetizer, main and dessert. Wolfing down your food is very tacky

Idiots.

And one drink isn't enough to be over the limit or be significantly impaired for most of the population - idiot!

Lately when we are seated and order drinks and apps, he will order our drinks, apps, and also request that a second round be brought out with the apps. He says he’s making it easier on the server. But it just seems like he wants to quickly suck down his first cocktail and have it swooped away and a fresh one arrives with apps ten or so minutes after sitting at the restaurant. If nothing else it feels a bit tacky to essentially double order booze right when we’re seated?

It makes him preoccupied with alcohol for sure.

Definitely giving vibes to the waitress that you’re trying to get bombed.

Exactly. Nothing like lashing out and calling people names while being completely wrong.

I am fine with someone having two drinks, but that particular way of ordering them seems tacky.

Also, talk to your husband. No one else cares.

Well I’m not sure no one else cares. If I were out to dinner with them, I would think it’s really odd behavior.

No one on this site does

Ha my work colleagues do this. They are definitely alcoholics but this isn't why.

He probably needs to suck that first drink down to take the edge off so he can sit through being criticized and micromanaged for two hours with no real possibility of escape.
