Alcohol problem?
Hi guys,
I'm a bit stcuk on what to do.
I have been seeing a new guy for about 3 weeks now. I get on with him really well, he makes me laugh, and does occasionally attept to be romantic in a laddish way! There is one problem....he drinks every night.
To him this is normal as he thinks that having a couple an evening is nothing abnormal for a young guy. But when he spends about £80 a week on alcohol, I know something isnt right.
I've spoken to him about it in a jokey way to try and intriduce the situation to him and bring it to his attention that he might have a problem, but he just brushed it off.
What can I do to make him see that this isnt normal??
I mean he'll have a couple down the pub when I'm there, then go home and whilst we are watching a film, easily drink a bottle and a half of wine to himself.
He'll also sneak off to the pub on his way home after work for a quick pint, and then also go out in the evening and drink after his dinner.
I've tried to be more serious, like last night I told him not to expect me to stick around if he intends to get lashed every night. And I think this reaction shocked him a bit. But then again he may not even rememeber it because he was once again drunk.
Its making me a bit resentful towards him and I don't want to be like this as I think he has potential and I enjoy being around him when he is completely sober during the day. It's just like as soon as the evening comes, he is compelled to spend all his wages on beer!
HELP!!!!!
