Hi everyone.
I’m 26 years old and have been with my 30 year old boyfriend for nearly 3 years now.
I think my boyfriend is an alcoholic. I don’t know any other alcoholics and I’d like to know just how bad he is in the scheme of things.

When I met him he was drinking about 400-600ml of bourbon whisky per night. Mixing it with cola and sipping it until he had enough and crawled into bed.
His drinking habits changed within 3 months of meeting me and he stopped drinking from big bottles. And turned to pre-mixers in cans. He will have a max of 6 cans per night and usually will do this 2-3 times per night. Some night it’s much less and he will just have a few beers. I never asked him to do this it was all his own initiative. I did however talk to him about breaking up because his alcohol wasn’t working for me but he didn’t want to break up and so he changed a bit.
I should mention he is a lonesome drinker and when he has a few he is the kindest and gentlest man on the planet. When he is sober he snaps more easily and loses his temper. He was an angry teen and the alcohol calmed him down so he stuck to it. (thats what he says) I’m trying a lot of positive reinforcement and when he gets angry I try to talk to him about why his is angry and tell him that he has a right to be angry and that it’s ok for him to be angry. (me thinking that he doesn’t have to try to stop being angry by drinking).
SO at the moment he was gone about 5 nights with no drinks and then 3 night of having a 6pc of bourbon pre mixers and now he is on night 3 again without.
If he had to restrict for whatever reason eg: staying with my parents for a few days then he can do that without a problem.
2 weeks ago we went to the doctor and he had some tests done including a liver function test. I called up the surgery and the doctor requested he come back to talk about the results of his blood test but added that it wasn’t urgent. So he is going next week.
SO how bad is he???? Is this what most normal men do? Or is falling off the rails??

I also want to know if I fell pregnant could our baby be abnormal and unhealthy? I’m a healthy girl I avoid refined foods and caffeine I make crazy smoothies with fruit and spinach I take vitamins and minerals. Do most alcoholic fathers produce healthy offspring or sick offspring? I found a few medical journal articles saying that alcohol damages the mechanisms that make/create sperm and the damage is irreversible i also read the sperm of alcoholics have bent tails and are malformed.

I’m sorry of my questions are childish. But I want to stay with this man and he wants to get engaged and i want to know a few things and jump into anything.

any information would be really apreciated.
many thanks.
