bad drunk decisions

Being a bad drunk and being an alcoholic are a bit different. There is some crossover. If alcoholics didn’t do things that were destructive when whey drank, they probably wouldn’t realize they had a problem. A lot of alcoholics realized they had a problem when they nearly lost everything they cared about to alcohol. Bad drunks can do that, too. However, not all bad drunks are alcoholics and what I mean by that is, there are individuals who don’t drink often, don’t feel addicted to alcohol, but when they do drink, they are bad drunks. The issue isn’t with how often or how much they drink but rather the fact that the second they get buzzed, they turn into someone intolerable, and even dangerous. I once dated a guy who was a bad drunk. He ruined some of his friendships when he drank, and he nearly ruined our relationship. I got him to stop drinking, and then we broke up for other reasons, but thank goodness I alerted him to the fact that he was a bad drunk. If you’re in that situation, here is how to talk to your partner about it.

You can’t have fun when he drinks

Explain to him that when he starts drinking, you cease to have fun. The good times are over for you. You’re just on high alert now, watching how much he drinks, and wondering when trouble will begin. You become a babysitter. You can’t relax. Your night off is stolen from you.
