If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck.
If sounds to me like he may have a drinking problem. Not all alcoholics are violent. Your boyfriend is the only person who can decide if he is an alcoholic or not.
Ask him to stop drinking and if he is not able to (or gets mean when not drinking) he may be an alcoholic. I would suggest Al-Anon family groups (in the phone book) for you. Good luck

He doesn't have to be abusive to be an alcoholic and some people are just heavy drinkers. And unfortunately the alcoholic is usually the last one to know they have a problem. And they are the only one that can do anything about it. Again unfortunately this usually comes after many consequences. An alcoholic is a person who processes alcohol differently in the brain. When they drink they CANNOT stop so even one drink sets off the reaction. The trick is to not pick up that first drink and that can take years to learn that you even have a problem and then doing something about it can take years as well. In the meantime everything starts to deteriorate, relationships, commitments, jobs, everything, as alcohol becomes the best friend, employer and lover to the alcoholic. I wish you luck. Peace.

If he can't drink without accidentally getting hammered at times, then he's an alcoholic.
So, if he occasionally goes out not planning to get drunk, and sometimes can't drive home or drives home drunk, then he's defined as an alcoholic.
Not alcoholics are abusive. Not all alcoholics are bums. Many were presidents. I am an alcoholic and I run a big company.

You confided in him something very own which you would be able to disclose to a real pal which you believe and he thoroughly and fully disrespected you and is persevering with to disrespect you...and your mom who has a extreme ailment and desires help. he's being chilly and insensitive and is showing a finished brush aside on your emotions. this type of habit shows he's no longer a real pal and thus no longer the excellent style of "boyfriend" you're able to do much greater desirable and could sell off his butt till now he degrades, undermines and emotionally abuses you any added making you lose understand for your self to the factor the place you do no longer understand this abuse and optimistically you haven't any longer already allowed it to get to that factor. in case you do no longer positioned a provide as much because it now, it is going to basically worsen and ability you have already allowed it to pass too far. And who knows how far he will pass if he already has some nerve. What if he says something on on your mom? in case you adore her you may want her to get greater desirable yet he ought to doubtlessly make her subject worse. If he extremely cares for you he could understand you via respecting your mom and be type and archives and even perhaps attempt to furnish help. yet this? that is in simple terms unacceptable!

If he writes you a love poem.. and he rhyms " I love you" with "Now time to have a labatte blue" he might be an alcoholic!!!!!!
hahah no but seriously.. he doesnt have to be abusive to be an alcoholic! if its screwing up his job, life, or his relationships then its a problem.. and if its something that is bothering you , then its hindering his relationship with you and he needs help. Dont stick around if Beer is more important to him then you are.. its just not worth it.

That does seem pretty alcoholic... ask him if alcohol is really important in his life and if he could go without it. If he can't you should get him some help...

He's what you call a borderline alcoholic. Being abusive is not an underlying factor to being an alcoholic.
