[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt he drinks a bottle of wine a night. Wine gives you the worst hangover and headache . How can he still function at work with these daily hangovers?[/quote]

Perhaps he’s developed a tolerance from daily use - which means he would likely go through withdrawal when he stops (and might require hospitalization). I think the fact that he is “high functioning” has tricked OP into thinking he is not actually an alcoholic, but just someone who needs to cut down while they have a newborn. Nope.[/quote]

Being falling down drunk is not normal or SAFE around an infant.

OP, do you work? I have a sense you may not and you may not, so you are even more desperately trying to stay in denial. He should not be holding the baby or driving you and the baby. Do you have family you could go to? There is NOTHING you can do to cause him to drink or cause him to stop. The sooner you grasp that the better for your child. And you have to have a plan to become self supporting for you and your child. He may die of alcoholism, you have no control over what he does.

If I'm wrong and you DO work, have a plan to focus on career, he may lose his. You can't rely on child support. Al Anon has online and phone meetings as well as in person meetings.

Did you grow up with a parent who drank, OP? https://adultchildren.org/
