Has your boyfriend ever gotten any help with his drinking before Aqua? It sounds to me (and I could be entirely wrong) that he quit drinking heavily a very short time ago because of pretty severe negative consequences. I think a lot of us here might have done that in the past, had a situation which scared us and scaled it back or quit completely for a bit. But then went back to drinking when we thought we were 'okay' again. If he hasn't addressed any of the issues why he over drank and did the stuff he did then it might not be such a great idea to just go back to drinking. Maybe you could be a positive sober influence on him now you know the situation, don't encourage him to drink and support him if he needs help. Maybe seeing a counsellor would be good for him. Or encourage him to post here x
