hello, regular user but Iv name changed.
So usually twice a week my OH drinks alcohol in the house while watching football.
I think he drinks far too much however if I ever question it he says I'm wrong and unreasonable. am I????
today he had (over 3.5 hours)
10 x 440ml cans of cider
1 x 440ml can of Guinness
1 x 440ml can of belhaven (this is 3.5% which he refers to as 'non alcoholic')
he often conceals how much he has had to drink by hiding the empty cans/bottles so there is a possibility he has had more than this today.
when I say its far too much and he's drunk, he argues that he's not and that it's the equivalent of going out for 4 pints!!!??
its horrible as we have very young DC and I don't want them to be exposed to this. :-(
He becomes loud and annoying and if I say or do something he doesn't like he will sometimes turn abusive and start bringing up old issues/arguments.
anyway, do other men drink like this? is this normal?
for reference he is a big guy, not fat but over 6ft.
iv also noticed that whenever we go out anywhere and he is having a drink its to excess. He always has to have a drink in each hand the whole time and seems incapable of only having a few/not getting drunk.
its really starting to get me down. but then he twists what my argument is and makes out that I'm unreasonable as it's only when the football is on and he rarely goes out (his choice).
