He probably needs to suck that first drink down to take the edge off so he can sit through being criticized and micromanaged for two hours with no real possibility of escape.

Ha my work colleagues do this. They are definitely alcoholics but this isn't why.

Also, talk to your husband. No one else cares.


Well I’m not sure no one else cares. If I were out to dinner with them, I would think it’s really odd behavior.

I am fine with someone having two drinks, but that particular way of ordering them seems tacky.

So if you're driving in an hour, you can only have one.

Drinking the second one soon after the first WILL NOT SPEED UP METABOLIZATION.

Idiots.


And one drink isn't enough to be over the limit or be significantly impaired for most of the population - idiot!


Exactly. Nothing like lashing out and calling people names while being completely wrong.

Lately when we are seated and order drinks and apps, he will order our drinks, apps, and also request that a second round be brought out with the apps. He says he’s making it easier on the server. But it just seems like he wants to quickly suck down his first cocktail and have it swooped away and a fresh one arrives with apps ten or so minutes after sitting at the restaurant. If nothing else it feels a bit tacky to essentially double order booze right when we’re seated?


It makes him preoccupied with alcohol for sure.


Definitely giving vibes to the waitress that you’re trying to get bombed.

Don't eat that fast! Dinners are like 2-2.5 hours at a minimum if you're doing appetizer, main and dessert. Wolfing down your food is very tacky

Seems a bit thirsty but not tacky. Also seems like he’s tickled by what he thinks is a winning Life Hack. Let it go, OP.

I always order extras at weddings because you know it will be another huge wait next go around.

Tacky but not necessarily alcoholic
