To be fuming with DP

[Peonylover123]

To start with, DP is not an alcoholic, not alcohol dependent etc

My issue is my DP doesn’t seem to realise what amount of alcohol will put him over the legal limit. Every Friday after work he has 2 beers and drives home. He’s quite thin and doesn’t eat that much during the day except crisps and chocolate. He always says he’s fine and can even have a third if he eats something but these beers are consumed in under 2 hours usually.

Right now he’s been in a pub waiting for his car to be fixed. He’s on his third pint and all he’s had to eat is some bacon and sausages 4 hours ago. I am fuming.

I end up being a nag or told I’m coming controlling but I think he’s putting someone’s life at risk as well as his own. Plus any form of DUI will instantly mean he can’t do his job and will lose his right to do his job (discredit to the profession, integrity etc)

Any advice? Am I being OTT?

Not Dingle, more back woods justice.

😂😂😂😂 have you heard yourself?

So child sex abuse, does that get sorted out in the back woods too?

YANBU, what a prick. Look him in the eye and ask him why he's happy to risk killing another person every time he does this. Ask him if he thinks he could live with himself if he killed a child. Because the reality is that's what he's risking every time he does this.

Drink drivers are fucking disgusting. He is prioritising a liquid over someone's life.

I'd be straight on the phone to the police, I wouldn't care who he was.

It’s the back woods way, we look after each other

Where? The Appalachians?

Luckily the majority don't 'look after' each other like that.

The OP would be right to get a home breathalyzer before he kills someone.

YANBU he could kill himself or an innocent person. He is selfish

The best advice is to get him a breathalyzer so he can see for himself whether or not he is driving with an illegal blood alcohol level.

People get very, very silly about drink-driving (it's similar to other types of magical thinking: if they shout and scream and froth and piss their pants enough then bad things will never happen to them) - while it's not a great idea, plenty of teetotallers are shitty drivers too.

I’d frankly report him.
