Advice about fiancee that thinks it is okay to drink on the way home from work?
My fiancee will sometimes drink a beer on his way home from work (about two times a week). He also drinks a few at night. He is not a heavy drinker really, but I am starting to worry. I have had a boyfriend in the past to die after drinking a few beers and driving home after watching Monday Night Football, so this worries me and makes me think of what could happen again. Any advice? He doesn't see anything wrong with this.
I would talk to him out of concern. Tell him that you are worried because your former boyfriend died in an accident after drinking and it worries you when someone drinks and drives.
Most people are not alcoholics, but many drinkers are problem drinkers and don't make rational decisions when they had a few drinks, especially where driving is concerned. You may start off with 2, but then it turns into 3 or 4 and by then your judgment is not accurate and you may wind up drinking many more drinks because you think you are fine before driving home. I’ve been there myself where I drank too much and drove and it's not a good thing to do. I mostly avoid it and if I am drinking more than a few I do it at my local bar which I walk to, which is only 4 blocks from my house.
