My boyfriend has had a problem with alcohol for awhile. He says he just loves alcohol but nearly everytime he drinks he doesn't give himself a limit and will drink until he's drunk. This happens probably twice a week. He used to be a lot worse ( drunk every day). How do I get him to see he still has a problem? Or is he actually fine? He's not abusive or anything I just worry about his drinking. Any thoughts?
It sounds like your boyfriend still has a problem. If your going to drink there should be a limit. Drinking to get drunk (versus a little relaxes) is a serious problem. Chronic use of alcohol not only damages the liver but the brain as well. It impairs judgement and chances are he is not very productive around the house or at work. The best thing is to get professional help as soon as possible. They may be able to pin point trigger points that initiate the drinking episode and help him to ward them off. See if you can talk to your friend and see if you can get him to go to a doctor and offer to go with him for support. Having support is important.
