My boyfriend has had some bad problems with alcoholism in the past. He says he has liver damage but it won't affect him "until he's older." Every time he hangs out with friends, he drinks, and he also does sometimes when he's alone and when I'm there (we're in a long-distance relationship so I'm only there about once or twice a month). So, I guess my question to you guys is, do guys ALWAYS drink when they hang out with each other? He gets annoyed that I worry but I can't help it. I feel like he's slowly killing himself with each beer. I drink occasionally too but I've never had any major problems related to alcohol and he doesn't mind my drinking. But I have told him several times that it bothers me and he still does it and tells me not to bent out of shape over nothing. I mean, of course I want him to go out and have fun with his friends, but is drinking all guys do? Am I overreacting or do I maybe have a valid reason to be kind of concerned?
