My boyfriend drinks a bottle/bottle and a half of red wine every night, is he an alcoholic?!


Question: My boyfriend drinks a bottle/bottle and a half of red wine every night, is he an alcoholic?
I have asked him to cut back or stop for just a few nights as this is soooo unhealthy and when he is pissed it is so annoying but he NEVER stops. He also is a jekyl and hyde character, one minute lovely guy then a total ****. Pulling my hair out and totally exhausted by the whole thing, should I run away fast?

if he has money I say you stay he will die young. but if not you should do him the favor and kill him because if he's drinking that much it means he has some real problems.



A glass of red wine with dinner or if the two of you share a bottle once n a while is perfectly normal but to have a bottle to a bottle and a half a night and the inability to cut back is a huge problem. I am sorry to hear about this and to tell you what you already know btw. He is an alchy and is going to get much worse if he continues on this path... i would have a serious talk with him about it but if it doesnt change, i would leave.

I have seen it personally all of there money is spent on booze and at times they have borrowed money from us all just to pay for their habit.



yes you should run away, if hes not going to help himself and stop the drinking hes only going to get worse and worse
and pulling out your hair will come to a few punches and a few kicks until your getting abused by this guy

ofcourse you must love him but i would advise you to leave now if youve already tried talking with him.
tell him you cant handle the way he treats you when hes drunk and you dont want to see him until hes stopped drinking.

it might be a wake up call for him it might not
but i realy wouldnt advise you to sitck around for long... this is usualy the beginings of an abusive relationship... well hes already abusing you.



He needs help but until he wants it there is nothing you can do....i would consider this seriously in this relationship and how far you are willing to take it. Addiction is not going to be his battle to fight but it will include you and anyone in his path...i would have a heartfelt talk with him when he is sober and then i would go from there ....but you are seriously at a crossroad in your life and i wouldnt take it lightly. In the meantime go to Alnon so you can educate yourself on addiction and your role in it and suggest AA for him. Best to you both. :)



I'm not a doctor, and know nothing about addictions as such but I should imagine that if he can't go without the alcohol (is dependant on it for day-to-day life) then most likely yes. However, if you talk to him maturely in a sober state and tell him your worries, maybe this would slow him down. If it doesn't stop, you should definately think about leaving him. You don't need trouble like this when you could be in a much more suitable loving relationship :).

My brain :).



They say drinking red wine in moderation is good for your health, but he is just taking advantage.
Once an alcoholic, its hard to recover from that disease they never change even though they always promise to, especially once they attack u, my advice is to leave but try and offer assistance and get him the help he needs, alcoholism is a vicious cycle, GOOD LUCK



Certainly too much and he will soon be alcoholic if not so already.

You should think about breaking it up. he will not change unless he wants to and he has not gone that far yet.



maybe but i to young to think about that and give an excellent answer but i could help.

he is an acholic aand it is not good health wise.:):):):::)))



of course he is
yes,you should !

fact



you should have done this from the first times you saw him doing this...
