[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  From my perspective, the issue is two-fold:  (1) I was trying to identify whether other people thought it was a problem or whether I was being overly concerned about nothing (clearly, some people think that I have no reason to be concerned, but there is no need to be nasty); and (2) my DH IS drunk after what I described.  (So maybe on the nights that he is drunk, he drank more than I saw, I don't know.)  Drunk and not really functioning.  Certainly not able to take a child to an ER should there be an emergency.  Unfortunately, we have a child who does have middle of the night ER visits, and some that require staying at the ER for a considerable period of time, so my concern about a potential need to be alert in the middle of the night is not hypothetical.

I appreciate the constructive comments, both those saying there is no issue and those saying that there is an issue.  I was interested in perspective.  [b]But I don't understand the nastiness.[/b]  I asked a question and opinions.  The people who didn't see a concern simply could say that.  Calling me a twit does not advance anything here.

It's projection. Some people have been hurt badly by the drinking of people they love. Other people have had people they love overreact & try to control enjoyable, non-problematic drinking.  So, your situation becomes, in some sense, their situation and they attach those emotions to their response. [/quote]
