[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A guy in his 20s drink 4-5 beers in an evening is not concerning to me, in an of itself.

[b]It is the setting that is strange to me...why drink that much when with your fiancé’s family (who doesn’t really drink)? Odd. 
[/b]
If it was a wedding, NYE, a night out with buddies, etc etc etc it would not be surprising. [/quote]

[b]I don't know why that's considered a strange setting? It's totally normal to be nervous around the parents of a serious SO and want to take the edge off.[/b]

You need to ask the opinions of your friends that do drink moderately and have been around him in order to really have full perspective around this.  [/quote]

Are you OP? Because you need to examine your own drinking and thinking about drinking if you think this.[/quote]

OP that was not me!

To be honest, I had a Come to Jesus moment with my own drinking several years back. I went to a party school but unfortunately let that continue on post college. It was affecting my health and my relationships (I also had unresolved mental health issues and was self medicating). Luckily, I was able to significantly cut back and feel happier and healthier today. [/quote]

Do you realize that being in a relationship with a problem drinker can drag you into unhealthy drinking patterns as well? I drink and so does DH, but we don’t around friends and relatives who struggle with drinking.[/quote]
