[quote=Anonymous]I'm worried sick about him, and don't know if I'm overreacting. He's always been a beer snob, but for the past couple of years has taken to drinking the equivalent of 3-5 drinks a night. This is a combination of high-end beer -- which often have higher alcohol content -- and, a couple times a week, a double of high-end scotch or bourbon. So he's at 20-25 drinks a week. He drinks at night, usually after the kids go to bed, and occasionally has a beer before dinner. It costs a lot, $200-300 a month. He's otherwise functional. Not often pleasant to be around after his second beer, but I'll just go to bed and avoid him. He gets up in the morning, holds a job, does a lot around the house. He's not sneaking nips at work or anything.
I'll admit, the money bugs me. But I don't like how he gets impatient and snappy after he's been drinking, which again is nightly, and I worry alot about his long-term health. I'd love to hear perspective from others, especially if your SO is similar. I can be anxiety-prone, so maybe it's just me? TIA.
