[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH does, but he doesn't drive drunk.[/quote]

OP here:  how often?  And how does he get home?  Does he drive to work usually?   I think my dh drinks and drives is b/c  a) he thinks people can't tell he's drunk and b) he won't admit he's drunk and calling a cab would ruin both those schema.  Also, he drives to work (actually, he doesn't have just one office so he drives all over the city to work) and he would be really screwed if he left his car in say, Tysons, but had to be downtown on the Hill at 8am and we live in Gaithersburg.  I'M NOT CONDONING IT.  Just explaining why I think he does it.  Or at least his distorted thinking b/c I think the real reason he drinks and drives is because he has a drinking problem.  But I have been told I am uptight about drinking and "don't understand how it works in business"  (not just by him, but by other family members too) so I am trying to get an objective perspective and see how his behavior compares to others.

You  may very well be uptight, and it may be true that you "don't understand how it works in business" -- I don't know you and can't say.

What I can say is that both of those phrases are very defensive, and there are many people in the business world who switch so club soda and lime after the first drink.  Your husband has a drinking problem and is in denial.  Not sure why he has all that many "business meetings" in the evening that aren't really social events in disguise.  So even if you are uptight, etc, this is not an example of being uptight.

Good luck to you.[/quote]
