[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't know whether you are an alcoholic or not and frankly, the opinion of DCUM is not relevant.  Your husband, who lives with you and loves you, expressed concern.  I would take that to heart and reconsider your drinking habits.[/quote]

I guarantee if her husband told her to stop her dessert-a-day habit, you would say it's none of his business, how insensitive. And there is zero difference, health-wise, between having a piece of cake every day versus a glass of wine every day. They are equally risk-elevating--and neither remotely a death sentence. [/quote]

Her lone daily drink is probably more like a couple heavy pours and slurred speech if her husband is truly concerned she’s an alcoholic.

He’s probably seeing the unnecessary costs as well. Daily drinking isn’t cheap. [/quote]

No one is slurring their speech from one glass of wine, no matter how heavy the pour was.  You people are absurd.  [/quote]

The point being she isn’t just having one glass a night.

ICYMI: the teetotaler partners of those who drink each night tend to see the reality while the drinker sugarcoats the truth.

PSA: Those who drink every night in their 20s/30s/40s tend to become alcoholics (in fact, they already are by their 30s). And it gets harder to quit as you age. [/quote]

I’m going to need some citations for these claims.[/quote]

Go ask your husband, op.

He’s either legit concerned about your daily habit or maybe he’s just annoyed by your weekly bill at the beer and wine store?

How old are your kids? Maybe he’s starting to worry about what your kids are observing when mommy has her special juice? [/quote]
