Proceeds to have three or four more drinks at whatever event we are at.

I met him OLD and I'm not really a drinker. I'll have 6 months where I have zero drinks and then 2 months where I have maybe 10 drinks a month.

I like him but this worrys me

48, single and rich. Everyone at 48 has problems. Not many have money!

I don’t drink much any more but when I did, six beers in an evening was no big deal.

Six beers in an evening is not normal never mind not healthy.

Six beers in one sitting is extremely normal. They are sold in 6 packs on purpose.

yeah historically those were 4% low calorie 'pilsners'. no one's drinking those anymore except the latinos.

Budlight is the best selling beer in America and it is 3.8%. I can drink 8 of those on a Saturday afternoon and never get buzzed.

Are you proud of your alcohol tolerance? You're pretty defiant about it.

Is this the same guy who has no friends? There's another recent thread about dating a 48yo who is raising possible red flags after a few dates.

I am placing I Do Not Drink on O.L.D.
I just don’t want to center activities around it and it helps weed out unimaginative people

A "functional alcoholic" is still a damned alcoholic.

6 drinks is lot to everyone sane, not just you like you're being overly fussy for pointing it out or something. This is heavy drinking, and it's a huge red flag.

I think the OP answers this question rather well.

If you can drink 8 beers without even a buzz, you need to stop drinking so much so often. Tolerance is a tell.

Just the calories alone. A pretty standard beer we're talking 600 - 1000 calories. More depending on the type of beer.

There's a reason I lost 30lbs quickly when I quit drinking like that.

Seriously. Empty booze carbs are the worst, health and weight wise.

Right? Functional can make for a less difficult recovery in some cases but eventually functional becomes "sloppy addiction" as well.

Or why is SHE on tinder or whatever lol

Dating in the US sucks, even for rich people. Americans are cold and women generally don't like being approached by men. I mean, there are even rock stars on Tinder, so this is just kind of where our society is at. Now in some other countries, I wouldn't waste my time OLD.

Which rock stars are on tinder?

Disturbed lead singer. Someone posted on his Instagram that a guy who looks just like him is on tinder . I think at some point he made some comment about how is he supposed to meet women, hit on them at the grocery store? Ha. Funny that the average guy and a rock star have similar problems.

Wrong, craft beer is up to 350 calories for 12 oz. A budweiser is 140 calories. You are clueless.

I think we know why. He sounds like a functional alcoholic, or someone with social anxiety who needs to drink before a function to stay relaxed. I know because I used to do that when younger.

Either way, this is not a good sign at his age.
