My dad comes home from work and has a bottle or two of beer, then a glass or two of wine with dinner, and then maybe another glass later, or a shot of something alcoholic.
Is this too much?
My brother and I were wondering.

That's a complicated question. Does alcohol consumption change his personality? Can he go without drinking once in a while if there is something else he wants to do? Is he healthy? What is too much for one person is okay for another. But if he absolutely HAS to have those 3-5 drinks every evening or if he gets moody or grumpy when he drinks (or when he wants a drink), or if he is neglecting his relationships with the rest of the family, then, yeah, it's a problem.
You might look into Al-anon -- it's a self-help group for family members of problem drinkers. They will teach you that you can't change him (only he can do that) but you can learn how to cope better while you're waiting for him to come to his senses and dry out.
Good luck!

I don't think it's too much, but it's kind of pushing it. It does depend on how much someone weighs etc. etc. but a lot of adults drink everyday (maybe a glass or two of wine) but alcoholism has more to do with quantity of alcohol consumed each time one drinks (getting drunk everytime one drinks), not necessarily the frequency of one's drinking. Unless your dad is a small guy he wouldnt be getting drunk from that amount per night. So 3 drinks per night (a bottle of beer or glass of wine) isn't bad, but 5 is pushing it and anything over that would probably be a cause for concern.

uhhh.
too much alchohol is when you literally like vomitting.!
ha i would know.
:p
jk.
idk if thats too much though.
beer is nothing really.
you can have as much as 5 or 6 bottles b4 you actually get drunk.
wine is nothing completely.
its like juice.
but if you have shots && wine and beer all mixed together.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
not such a good thing.
what i would suggest is finding out info about,
alchocholics and showing it to ur dad.
this would show him how much you actually care and
he might stop!
:]
just try it it might work.
