[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. This is me. It's also many, many of my friends and colleagues, so I'm a little surprised at the universal reaction here that this is fringe/problem behavior. Anyway,  the money isn't really an issue for us and I don't think it alters behavior at home (DW has never indicated so anyway). It makes it hard to stay in shape is my biggest issue. Ideally I'd cut back but don't, so I think that essentially signals "problem" if not alcoholic. Does your DH actually want to cut back or stop, or is this just you? I think you should just talk to him and see what he says. Problem for me and possibly him is that I just really like it! It helps de stress after a long/stressful work day, and frankly things at home with young kids and wife and work are pretty mundane. So, OP, I respect that you are concerned, especially if DH is acting like a jerk after a couple beers (which to be honest seems a bit odd to have a visible effect with such a small amount for someone who drinks regularly). But I'd start by just checking in to see what DH thinks about it. How old is DH? That makes a difference too. Most guys I know in early/mid 30s still live like this.

PS - the idea that someone who drinks even 3-5 drinks 6-7 days a week is taking pops at the office is a bit out there. I think we are talking about an order of magnitude difference between those two scenarios, at least in my experience. As I said above I drink probably way too much and am in that 6-7 days a week category and never once drank at the office (outside of designated happy hours or holiday parties). [/quote]
