[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not come from a culture of drinking and I married an American man who comes from a white catholic family that love to party. The people party into their 60s from what I have seen. Large parties, keg stands and whole weekends related to being hungover and reminiscing the great time that was had. My husband is similar. He does have a diagnosis of fatty liver disease and non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. He recently went to Vegas with a friend for a week and came home with bruises on his body. Is it normal for people to drink so much that you get bruises?? In his normal week, after I go to bed, he will stay up till 4 am and drink a bottle of wine with 4-5 beers. Sometimes 2 bottles of wine. He then sleeps in till noon. When I say this is not okay he says I am just "not fun" and don't understand his culture. [/quote] New normal is no drinking at all because that's what studies proved. [/quote] OK but that's not going to help OP. There's a range between no drinking, occasional alcohol misuse, and alcohol use disorder. It's all pretty well medically defined. Given the man in question has fatty liver disease, we're quite probably talking AUD. Someone who has a glass of wine every night with dinner may not be as healthy as non-drinkers (and I am one), but they're still very far from AUD or even alcohol misuse.[/quote]
