[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's the very outer limits of what's acceptable, and you're right to be concerned that it could tip over the limit.  It sounds high risk to me, and possibly he could benefit from finding other ways to unwind.  But for now, assuming he's average height/weight and eating with his alcohol, it doesn't sound like he's getting drunk other than weekends.

That said, that much alcohol is definitely unhealthy, even if he's not actually dependent on it. [/quote]

You do not have to get drunk, ever, to have a drinking problem.

Getting drunk "just" on weekends can be alcoholism too. Some alcoholics don't touch a drop--until they do, and then they get smashed.

Not all drunkenness is alcoholism, of course. But getting drunk on weekends as a habit can be alcoholism as much as daily drinking can be. It's individual, which can make it hard to recognize.

Best rule of thumb: If anyone has to question whether a loved one's drinking is a problem, then it's possible the drinking IS a problem at least within that relationship, and needs to be talked about.[/quote]
