[quote=Anonymous][quote]If he drinks 5 nights a week that’s 5 bottles of wine per week and 20 per month. That’s a lot!

It sounds like he drinks 7 nights per week so it’s even worse than you say…30+ bottles of wine per month (even up to 60+ if it’s really more like 2 bottles a night)[/quote]

OP said 1-2 bottles/night. So, let's say 10/week. Even at cheapish wine, that's a lot of money, like 5-6k/year. But its also way over the upper limit of what has been called "safe" consumption, of 14 drinks/week for men. (Many now say there is no safe limit, alcohol is a carcinogen among other things).

I'm writing this from the perspective of someone who had dated/lived with an alcoholic but I didn't recognize it as such in my early 30s (I did understand he 'drank too much,' I didn't understand what it was actually like to be addicted to alcohol, how easy it is to slip from a regular drinker to someone with AUD) and from having lost someone else to suicide, which was the result of long term alcohol abuse, the mental illness and severe depression it created and his failure to stay sober despite his strong desire to do so and, really, the way that he had destroyed so much of his life because of the addiction (and yes, there were multiple expensive rehabs, etc).  So very sad. [/quote]
