He's not an alcoholic, he's a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.

Sounds like a binge drinker, or a social alcoholic. He needs some sort of help. My husband was like this. We had many many many many fights over this. I stuck with him and made him see how much his drinking affected both of us. I told him that I would not raise a family with someone like this and that it was his choice, but he had to make this decision for himself and not for me. If he had made it based on me, then I would hear it forever. He saw what it was doing to him physically and to "us" mentally and emotionally. He quit drinking and now we are married and have a beautiful baby girl.

Right now he's a problem drinker and/or a binge drinker.
However, he is on the road to full-fledged alcoholism.
Not being able to turn the motor off once it gets a little booze is a serious sign. Trust me.

Oh honey, I know this all to well. Your man is an alcoholic. Though they never admit it they are. Mine drinks two forty's and then some every night. And the messed up part is when he gets really messed up he falls over every thing . plus he sleepwalks, drunk or not. I have woken up to him peeing in my kids closet, down the stairs, on our bed. He never remembers it. It is depressing. And when you try to confront them with there problem they tell you ,you are full of drama.

If it has affected his relationship in the past then yes he is an alcoholic.

If he can go a few weeks without drinking than I do not think so. My thing is that if I am going to drink than I get drunk, not just have a few. That is not bad, it's just preference.

Not being able to contol your intake is an obvious sign that he's alcoholic. Trust me, as I'm one myself! "one's too many and 6 ain't enough"

Sounds to me like you're driving him crazy. Poor bastard. Quit nagging him, and don't ask so many inane questions. You're not the center of the universe. You're not living with Daddy anymore, get over it. It's affected his past relationships because he has a sickness wherein he enables women who can't face the fact that there is something more interesting then themselves. Growup. And clean up the doggone house, the place looks like hell!
