[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t say how old he is. You say he has relatives in their 60s who drink like fish, but you don’t say how old he himself is. In any event, depending on how old he is he sounds like fun.[/quote]

He is 36.

Apparently his doctor told him both his fatty liver and BE are no big deal and he can drink...I don't think the doctor understands how much he drinks!

He did try to be sober for 3 years after his BE diagnosis...but he hated it and has started drinking again starting this January. I don't mean a glass of wine at dinner. In fact, I have never seen him have just 1 glass of wine or beer...ever. 1 turns into a bottle!

And of course, I am his no.1 enemy, the "not fun" wife who is a buzz kill.

I am increasingly concerned for his well being.

We met when we were 22 so...all american friends were drinking. I did not realize...he would not stop as an adult.[/quote]

He is lying to you about what the doctor said to him.  People like this do that.  My mother always lied about what the doctor said to her.[/quote]

+1. Either the OP is a troll or if real the DH is lying. Doctors would never, never been unconcerned about this. My DH showed up at the hospital with symptoms from alcohol withdrawal and had the precursor to fatty liver. The doctor told him to cut out alcohol. And that was not as bad as what you're describing, medically! At this rate I'd be somewhat concerned your DH is in late stage alcoholism and will be dead soon - second the poster who mentioned getting the will in order (but use an excuse, not his alcohol consumption, and bring it up when he's sober). It can happen this young.

OP you need a support system that's not DCUM. Stat. Ideally other people who have alcoholics in their lives, because only they know the specific weirdnesses. Being the "not fun" wife and number 1 enemy can [i]very quickly[/i] get dangerous when an alcoholic has their inhibitions lowered because they're plastered.

Do you guys have kids?[/quote]
