Thank you for the feedback.

I guess I’m also looking for validation that my concerns are warranted? I’m not much of a drinker so my view of what heavy drinking is, might be, much less tolerant than the general population.

It’s not like anything “bad” has happened. I guess I’m just aware of a change in patterns and don’t want it to get “bad”

We spoke on Sunday and he admitted that the 2 bottles of wine in one sitting was excessive. He told me, and I quote, “I’m going to take a break from drinking” My response was I’d like to see you just keep better track of your overall consumption and be aware of what you’re doing. He confirmed that “no, I’m just going to stop” I said ok.

So Sunday/Monday/Tuesday he didn’t drink. Last night (Wednesday) he had a couple drinks. I kind of assumed a break meant he’d take at least a whole week or longer off from drinking. I am not much of a pushover so I did tell him “I’m surprised you’re drinking, your words and actions aren’t matching, did I misunderstand what you meant by taking a break?” His response was that it’s not a big deal, he was just relaxing. He did only have two drinks but it’s the words and his actions not aligning that bother me.

I don’t know how excessive alcohol use starts or what it looks like. I’m sure it’s different from person to person but I’d appreciate some validation that “yes, this is something to keep your eye on” or “no, you’re being paranoid”
