Absolutely. My first husband, to whom I was married for the first 6 years after I quit drinking, was a normal, social drinker. He'd have a glass of wine or a beer, then stop; no problem. This really did not bother me. It was my addiction, not his. For the first year or so I asked him not to actually drink in front of me, but there was usually alcohol in the house, and he'd have a beer in another room from time to time.
