[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he has had more than 2 drinks, he will take a cab.  Period.  This applies to if he has had a few drinks at a work event, happy hour, or watching football on the weekends.  It applies to me too.  It does not matter how much the cab is, the rule in our household is "the cost/inconvenience of a cab is always less than the cost/inconvenience of a DUI".

To answer your question, 1-2 times a year for him.  For me, maybe 4 times a year.  I work in a sales job, the end of quarter happy hours get buzzed almost every time.  [/quote]

I think one reason that people who have a drinking problem drink and drive is as OP said, they are in denial that it is a problem and taking  a cab is an admission that you are drunk.  Taking a cab home 2-3 times a week or even once a week, when during the work/school week,  would get prohibitively expensive, but also make it harder to deny that a problem exists.

I think OP should consider separating until her dh has this under control.  Until then, you are in dire financial and legal danger from his recklessness/alcohol problem.  This is just plain practical.  [/quote]
