He has a stressful job and that is why he has a drink or two, and this is about 4 times a week, but we both have alcoholic parents and I don't drink so I bothers me that he uses alcohol as a vent, because I know the habit can become out of control. I was just wondering if I was alone or if other wives are concerned about their hubbies too?

I used to worry that my husband had a problem with alcohol.... He drinks every day.... however, his drinking is done at home. He does not and would not get in the car to drive even after one drink. He is not out in bars spending our bill money... he's not in public and at risk for getting arrested.... he's home... He's not abusive to me or our children. His drinking does not affect his work and he works very hard. He provides very well for our family! I believe that it is VERY unhealthy for him to drink everyday, but I would prefer spending the energy with something else other than nagging him. I understand your fear...

I got married the first time at 18 and I had no drinking experience. I married a guy who drank. Being innocent and naive about drinking I was unaware that even at that point he was an alcoholic. I lived and learned and experienced a nightmare marriage because of alcohol.
Run, don't walk away fast, very fast from this man. He will only bring you heartache. I have since divorced him, but stayed too long with my ex, bringing children into the world to live in that mess.
Now I am remarried and fortunately learned what I want in a spouse. I hope you learn what is important and learn the symptoms of alcoholism. It is a terrible environment for families to have to be exposed to. The drinkers only get worse as time goes by. How it is is the best it will be. He won't quit because he loves you!! You can't change him.

We drink wine on a daily basis and have an occasional beer, but no, I don't worry that he will become an alcoholic. i actually drink more than he does. The alcoholics that I know, don't openly drink, they hide it, and it didn't start by drinking a beer or so every night. It started because they were going through things in life that they thought required self-medication.

My man doesn't, but my father has a beer everyday when he gets home from work. Sometime he has a couple, but this doesn't get him drunk - he's a pretty big guy. Most people think of alcoholics as drunks that are falling over and "need" to have a drink. Since my father drinks everyday he is technically an alcoholic - but to me he really isn't. If you man is upset that your out of beer - then you may have a problem.

No, my hubby and i drink about the same amount and usually it's on weekend. Once in a while we will have a beer during the weekdays but that's about it. His best friend on the other hand is becoming an alcoholic!

No, my man is a professional driver, so he can't give in to drugs or alcohol. We have a drink every so often on weekends, though. My father on the other hand, is an alcoholic. If you are worried about it, you need to talk to him now.

No he doesn't, but it's something I do get concerned about because I know a lot about alcoholism. I don't drink, but it's hard to "force" my opinions of drinking on him. He's usually very low-key though and just drinks a few. I do know your concern though.

IF he drinks to get drunk and stay drunk then it could be but if he has a few every other night to help him unwind after a hard day at work then its fine I don't see that as a big deal it gets bad if he is drunk every time he drinks my dad is alcoholic but has bin clean for years now
