writes:My boyfriend has always enjoyed a few bottles of beer after work and in evenings. But a few beer is turning into up to 4 a night. Me and his family are very worried that he is now alcohol dependant. What should we do - he wont admit that there is anything wrong with it sayin he enjoys it. He is very well built so it takes a lot to get him drunk. I just dont know where to turn when he wants to continue with the same routine and doesnt think its a problem. Please advise me. I love him so much but I find his drink getting to me more - i suppose im wondering if we have a future together now.

 Is the booze affecting his job? Is it affecting your relationship? does he want to drink more than spend time with you? do your parents drink? Do you drink?
Is booze making your BF's life unmanageable?
Or is it just that your parents dont like him?

Maybe sibling rivalry, maybe finances etc. The more you ask him to stop the more it will push him to drink and enjoy that guilty pleasure. I think the only thing that can pull him away from the alcohol is a stronger, more positive force..such as unconditional love...and prayer

 it four beers depending on his size and weight and metabolism it could mean nothing . is his drinking affecting his work or family besides you worrying ids he violent.
If the nan is putting bread on the table and keeping a roof over your heads let him have his spirits in peace, its just beer thats practically water when you see him 64 oz bottles and drinking form them then its a problem.
if yur so concerned dont bring up the drinking just start asking him about his day and if everythings going all rte. becuse its highly irritating to be acused of being an alchoholic
