Does he have a drinking problem?

Question by Jaylie56: Does he have a drinking problem?
My husband drinks a six pack/day on weeknights and a case shared between Sat & Sun. He sees nothing wrong with this, he grew up in this environment. I however do not think it’s healthy for our children to grow up this way. He doesn’t have agressive behavior from drinking and it rarely affects his involvement in commitments , so it’s just a matter of health. Am I worried about nothing? Is the amount he is consuming not considered to be excessive? I do socially drink every so often, so I don’t have a problem with alcohol, just the amount and the frequency in which he consumes it. Should I back-off?

YES…this is more than he NEEDS to drink; therefore, this is excessive. It’s not good when you consider the amount of calories either.
