I have a glass of wine each day after work while catching up with my family. If it was 3, I think that would be problematic. I can’t see an issue with 1.

1-2 is okay. More than that is a potential concern.

What fool would divorce because you don’t like spouse’s beverage?


It’s not fruit punch. It’s a beer. If he must do it every night, it’s an addiction. Be it once every night or five a night, it’s an addiction. It’s not attractive to me. This fool would divorce him and make him available for you.


Coffee every morning is an addiction as well. Lot of junkies out there.


Ah, coffee and wine. The bookends to my days.

No one wants to be married to an alcoholic. You should want better for your life PP. Smh.

I sometimes have a drink while preparing dinner. It’s not about not having time. You sound very self-righteous, OP. Sounds to me like your DH is lounging and drinking while you do all the work of making dinner and you’re resentful.

That's the definition of alcoholism. I don't know anyone who does it.

No, I don't have time. By the time the kids are off to bed, the house is cleaned up, the dog is walked, I want to get in bed and read a book, not get a buzz on.

This is different than not having time. It’s actually possible to have a beer WHILE reading a book.


Will it make reading the book better? In my experience, it will just add calories and make it harder to sleep.

What’s the problem? Is he not stepping up in other areas? Neglecting other responsibilities?


You are an alcoholic

I don’t see the issue as long as it is 1 or 2 and his behavior isn’t different.

It isn’t really healthy, but it is ultimately his choice IMO.
