Am I worrying about nothing?: dh and I used to drink lots before we had kids. We would polish off a bottle of wine and very occasionally two every night.
Then kids came along and I cut down, and practically stopped drinking. I can't cope with kids AND feel lousy.
However, I now think my husband drinks too much... last night he had a bottle of beer when he came in, we had a bottle of wine between us (I had half a glass and he had the rest of the bottle) and he then poured himself a whisky before bed.
He drinks every day without fail. I think he is a heavy drinker. He drinks between half and a full bottle of wine every day and has recently added shot or two of whisky to his evening tipples. I mentioned it once and he got very cross and said I was being silly. His continual guzzling now winds me up. At the weekends he pours himself a drink at lunchtime and drinks wine all the way through 'til bed time.
Am I being silly? Is it because I have stopped drinking like I used to? He seems to think that because he is rarely drunk then it is not a problem. I dare not mention it to him as he gets touchy. He has a very stressful job and uses it to wind down.
