I guess I'm understating it because I'm coming from my own lens. By "a couple" I mean a minimum of 3-4 of those large-size bottles that are about two drinks in one. Some days it's more than that. He definitely does like to binge though, not every day, but often enough. Some days it's genuine moderation, some days it's a step or 3 beyond.
Anyway, thanks for all of your responses! You've given me a lot to think about. I would never try to change anyone or ask them to give up a habit. I've long since learned my lesson on that one. I just have to figure out if I can get sober and stay sober, and still live with someone who drinks. I have to admit the alcohol has also been a major culprit in some fights we've had.
Ughhhh, I hate that it's this serious over something as stupid as alcohol.
