[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DH only drinks every few months, but when he does it is almost always bad (he can't stop, is mean, dangerous to himself and others, blackouts, etc), what is this called? Alcoholism seems too dramatic but I know it's problematic. How do I help myself with this? Al-Anon feels extreme because it isn't so often. [/quote]

Out of curiosity, where does he do the drinking, what stokes his binging? Or is it totally random? Is this at home? Only during golf season while playing with pals? During and after work trips?[/quote]

Kind of random - a family function/bday party, Christmas dinner with family, out with friends, a vacation with friends, a work trip, a random Friday alone after a bad work week, etc. [/quote]

What is a “bad work week”? He…pulls out of wine at dinner and drinks it himself, without you?

Do you two have a sex life?

Your husband sounds unhappy.[/quote]

There were a few times when he had a stressful week at work and started drinking in the afternoon before I got home (not at dinner just like on the couch)
Yes we have a sex life and because he will go months in between episodes it doesn’t affect all aspects of our lives. 
Yes we have kids - teens - and he has openly talked about how he is not good at drinking to them… and yet… [/quote]
