[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see both sides. My family and my inlaws don't drink. And so they think someone drinking "omg half a bottle!" of wine to be a huge deal, when really it's just 2 glasses. Their lack of alcohol makes holidays feel un-celebratory sometimes. Like no champagne on NYE, no margarita/beer/rose on the 4th of July and no wine with a lovely Christmas dinner. I don't drink to excess but it's kind of boring. [b]Some people also drink a bit more to put up with inlaws (or in your case, future inlaws). [/b]

But I will say that drinking goes way up when you have kids and a million stressors in your 30s. It's hard to imagine when you're single and live in apartments how much stress there is. I would watch your boyfriend and stop going to events with drinking. Can he deal with it? [/quote]

This. OP, is it possible he is nervous or bored around your family? It may be situational. I don’t think drinking more to tolerate one’s in-laws constitutes a drinking problem.[/quote]
