Maybe I am just lucky that my wife offered to quit with me- although she hardly drinks so its not really quitting for her...
I wonder sometimes if he is an alcoholic as well, or if he is just a habit drinker. He drinks a lot, but seems to be able to stop, where I can't. In the last 3 days he's consumed over 40 beers. However, tonight he limited it to 5 because he has to work tomorrow. Hard to say.

Regarding the diabetes, I actually had good readings when I drank. It seems ones liver is so busy processing the alcohol, it doesn't have time to get to the carbs. After I quit, my glucose increased, so I have to watch my carbs even more carefully.
