I got super sensitive to some people's drinking.
I get scared/feel threatened when my mate drinks even tho' he never overdoes it.
We have been together a year and a half.
When I felt how uncomfortable I got when he brought a six pack of beer in, I told him that it really disturbs me and I never wanted to see that again really.
The beer isn't that important to him.
Occassionally he would buy one (a single beer).
Now I know that it's never any big thing and I feel better.
And him having a couple of beers doesn't unsettle me.
It upsets me to see my grown daughter drinking...but I have no say over that.
She lives a great distance so I am not exposed to it often and I am not saying that she has a drink problem.
What it seems like is that the people who are most precious to me...it only bothers me when they drink.
Other people ..it doesn't rattle me.
I know this comes from fear from an XalcoholicBF.....
the acoholism scares the living daylights out of me.
and I can never again see drinking as harmless
