My husband drinks way too much pretty frequently and I don't like it one bit.

I really would like to have an alcohol-free home as I grew up with an alcoholic
parent and my husband's mood swings, anger and depression are much worse drinking.
Unfortunately, this reminds me very much of the unstable environment which I grew up in
and I actually hurt in the gut being around it the same I did when I was a kid.

He put up with my drinking for years which was more of a problem then his is so far
so I feel guilty about wanting to "manage" his booze intake when I wouldn't allow
anyone, especially him, to manage mine.

Ultimately, I don't know what this will mean to our relationship.
We've been married 20 years and though this isn't the only issue we have,
it is the biggest one for me.
