My husband has never been a drinker. Even when we go out he normally doesn't even drink. But I recently bought him a 6 pack of this beer he had said that he liked. He laughed and told me that it would take him forever to go through that since he would hardly ever drink it. However the complete opposite happened. It was gone in 6 days, one a night. And for the past 2 weeks he has bought another 6 pack when we go to the grocery store. Now he is drinking one a night sometimes 2. Yesterday something made him mad and he's been pissed ever since. He even almost got into a fight at the grocery store. He has anger issues as it is, but now he's being rude to me. What should I do? I want to pour out the new pack of beer he just bought, because I think that's what doing it to him.

Try to find out what the underlying cause of this is.
It sounds to me like he is under some unusual stress all of a sudden and is trying to take the edge off. One a night may not work for very long and it becomes two or three. Certain events will all of a sudden become a six pack just to get the edge off.
I know from experience.
Finding the answer to what's stressing him will help the both of you.

You need to be careful because there are all kinds of drunk types out there. You don't want to get into a situation where he is going to cause you physical harm. You need to really think about you safety. Have a sit down with him where it's sorta public but still private enough for you to have a one on one conversation. That way if anything does happen you will be in a area where you can get help easily instead of at home where something can go seriously wrong. When you sit down to talk to him don't start it off by yelling, be calm and let him know that you are concerned and you will do whatever it takes to help him if he needs it. With the postive attitude maybe he will be okay with you wanting to talk to him, but I cannot stress enough how much you need to be careful. He may think it's okay but this is a minor thing that could turn very ugly very quick if not talked about with sooner. Alcohol can have so many surprising turns and you never want it to go the wrong way cause somebody could seriously hurt in the process.

One a night is not going to cause issues, in fact there could be some health benifits. It sounds like the drinking is a result of other issues and not the issue.Try to find out whats up. It is very possible that things outside your house are making him feel a bit frustrated. That can manifest itself in a number of ways.

he does have a have a problem that he doesn't want you to know about and he cant live with him self so he drinking so he doesn't have to think about the problem he is facing in his life it is a form of escape from reality but the same problem still there the next day so he go out and bye a other 6 pack he going to keep dong this in til some thing happen for him to solve this problem or its going to turn him in to a alcoholic .
good luck you are going to need it.

HI! At first u made mistake u brought him beer, just remember when a person who is not adicted to any adiction he always very nice, but if he likes that adiction and that too some one closer to him is responsible for the same then its very hard to come over it. only thing u can try to over come this problem divert his mind, and if u have confident in u then u can wery well do it, wish u all the best.

Well for one, l for sure wouldnt poor out his beer, your just looking for trouble there.alcohol changes a persons view and their behavior.as far as l can tell, a man that works hard and comes home and drinks 1 can of beer, well l think he deserves that.unless he's a alcoholic, then no.

My boyfriend has drinking issues as well. It's really hard because they won't want to stop and they will resort to saying something you can't counterattack like "all you ever do is nag".
Wait until he screws up big and then tell him the relationship is on the stakes...

one or two a night is not bad but if he is just doing it to get a buzz on and it's changing his behavior than I would suggest you sit him down and talk to him. He may not realize that he is changing. Some people cannot hold there liquor. If he doesn't want to listen to you than I suggest you watch him closely. You don't want him to start getting physical.

I dont think its the beer if he only drinks one or two a night. Unless he drinks when he is away from you. ????
