[quote=Anonymous]There are a LOT of alcoholics in both sides of my family, but your boyfriend isn’t raising any red flags with me. He is able to hold down a job, isn’t angry when he drinks, doesn’t drive after drinking, doesn’t drink alone…he sounds like every guy I knew in my 20s. Beer doesn’t have that much alcohol, 5 beers for a 185 pound guy over the course of why was probably a long dinner, maybe it was outside someplace warm? It sounds a lucky tacky since your parents clearly have their own issues with alcohol, but it seems pretty normal to me.

DH and I used to drink a lot when we were in our 20s before kids. 40s with 3 kids and we don’t really drink much anymore. DH will have a few beers while manning the grill on the weekends when we have friends over, I have wine nights with the neighborhood moms, and occasionally we will get a sitter and an uber for date nights, but the drinking has mostly gone away. Even friends who were a total mess managed to pull it together in their 30s - the types that puked in alleys, lost phones all over the place, falling down drunk on weekends…they are all married professionals with jobs and kids now.[/quote]
