Drinking on empty stomach?!
Drinking on empty stomach?
my hubby drinks/slugs beer on empty stomach when he gets in from work. then he eats and goes to bed. i hate this....but he says if he eats first he can't drink a few beers cause he is full from the food. he says he needs the beer to sleep. he slurs and staggers terribly and i am on pins and needles waiting for him to fall or get hurt or break something. he is too big for me to handle if he does fall. i can't get through to him how badly i hate this. please help!
Answers:
What you are describing is an alcoholic. Don't take it the wrong way. He does need help. Try to talk with him about it.
he needs help sleeping, help him out
He drinks on an empty stomach so he can drink more. It's actually much better to eat first because then you'll have to pace yourself. Beer is somewhat heavy and sits in the stomach, giving a fuller feeling (the gas it produces has alot to do with this). It sounds as if he has a problem, it's hard to believe that anyone truly needs alcohol just to sleep. If someone drinks right away after getting home, he needs to eat and then drink some water and sit down for awhile until the alochol has dissipated enough so that he's not slurring and unable to function. It sounds as if he's getting drunk and could be considered an alcoholic and I don't blame you for hating it, no one should have to go through what you do.
hey drinking before eating is normal there is no problm in it.................but if u r talking abt his drinking habbit...........i will suggest u to sit with him talk...........u both compromise a bit n see the difference.............bst of luck!!
It will surely help him along swifter.. All I can say is don't talk to him after he had some beers because that wont have any effect.
It might help to get him involved with a hobby /sport that previously enjoyed. It sounds almost like he is depressed, getting his mind of his circumstances might help.
Drinking on an empty stomach is no good for you as the acids in your stomach can not break down the carbohydrates (alcohol). Saliva in the mouth will break down the alcohol. That is why it is best to eat a few mouth fulls of protein which gets the stomach acids working which slows down the absorption of alcohol. the alcohol will also break down faster as saliva is produced more effectively when chewing.
You are describing a problem drinker if not an alcoholic. The first will lead to the second before you know it. He is drinking on an empty because it hits him faster by not having food to slow it down. Food will actually lower your blood alcohol level. Get to an Al-Anon meeting to get some support and advice on how to confront him.
I agree with Eagle women I'm with a lady right now that I have known for thirty years her husband did the same thing and she tried every thing to get him to stop. we went out with friends from high school kinda like a old friend get together and she looked like ****! I asked what she had been up to for the years I had not seen her and slowly but surely it came out about him. I could see the toll it was taking on her and looked to me like she was basically committing suicide through desperation.
Well long story short she now lives with me (2 years) and is doing great she is visiting her grand-kids in Cali for a few days and loving life. Moral to the story is if he does not want to get help or does not think he needs help than drastic measures will have to take place!
Oh by the way her now X husband is still drinking and has added meth, to his regimen as well it is sad to see My X is still drinking a **** load too!
I hope this helps in even the smallest way along with eagle women's advice you should do well be strong you only have one life to live make it count!!!
