[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If your husband thinks you have a problem born, by definition you have a problem. [/b]You think too much about alcohol and depend on it to have a good time with your friend. You can’t stick to a promise about dry January. [/quote]

Maybe, but the problem here is an overreacting husband, not that OP is an alcoholic. Maybe he doesn't have the right words to express his concerns, but by any measure OP is not an alcoholic. Her consumption is considered the upper limit of moderate by the CDC/health authorities.

OP, I think you two need to communicate - what is it about your one drink a day that bothers him? Is it the possibility of long-term effects on your health? Is it that X number of years ago you only had one drink a week on Saturday night and you've moved up to one a day? (That's a sign of a developing dependence, BTW). Is it that he doesn't drink and doesn't think drinking is acceptable? Is he a controlling jerk? (doesn't sound like it).

I don't know if you should or should not have a drink with your friend. That depends on your relationship with your husband and your actual relationship with alcohol.
