Beer every night- is it a dealbreaker for you?

[amibeingsilly1]

I grew up in a v strict religious home so alcohol was a no-no. Several uncles were badly affected alcoholics and it was always something to be feared.

I have maybe a glass of wine every two weeks or so. I do drink socially but don't go out very much.

My new partner is lovely in all aspects but I can't get over how much he drinks. I'd say he drinks 5 nights out of 7 and it's never 1 or 2, it's 5. He also will get a new bottle as soon as he's drained one. This really bugs me. We spoke about it before Christmas and he cut back but it's slipped back again.

I really hate it but I don't know if I'm BU. He never seems drunk.

I wouldn't be attracted to a man who drinks almost every night and gets through such a lot. He doesn't seem drunk because his body is tolerant of such a lot of alcohol, but it won't be doing him any good at all. If he's drinking so much AFTER he's cut down, he must, surely, be alcohol dependant

I wondered about the tolerance thing.

At an early stage and with such different attitudes towards alcohol this is a deal breaker yes.

It would be a no for me. DH doesn't drink and I only drink a small amount socially. It's so bad for your physical and mental health and he sounds like he relies on it.

No, I couldn't cope with that.

Yes, deal breaker. I could cope with a regular 1 beer/1 glass wine with dinner but drinking 5 beers every night is alcoholism.

Yes it would be a dealbreaker for me.

He's reliant on alcohol. And it's the start of a very slippery slope.

I thought so. Difficult conversation ahead. :(

Yes this is a dealbreaker.

Someone drinking every night isn't a dealbreaker, but drinking that much every night would be.
