Hi guys,

I’m not really sure where to post this, but I have a question regarding alcohol dependency or unhealthy habits. I went on a first date with someone who was great, but he had five beers. We hung out for about two and a half hours, I had two drinks. It worried me because towards the end he was slurring his speech a bit. I later told him that’s something that concerned me and he said he four beers which makes me question my memory. He also said that I should get to know him better and is surprised I was worried about his lifestyle. I just got out of an emotionally abusive relationship so my reaction was to apologize for suggesting it was something to be concerened about. But I’m worried his response was also an indication that he was caught off guard and may have some mild alcoholism brewing.


I’ve done a lot of work to change my life and circumstances and my OWN habits with alcohol. Does this sound concerning to any of you, or familiar?

Hey guys, just wanted to post an update. Thank you all for your opinions. I learned that I should trust my instincts and that regardless of whether or not he had a problem, it would have been a problem for me. I told him that it concerned me, while being as kind as possible, and he deleted me on all accounts. If that doesn’t speak for itself then I don’t know what does! Second date? Nope. But I stumbled across someone pretty amazing just a day later and we’ve shared creative, adventurous, and for the most part, alcohol free moments together getting to know one another. Interesting how life works...
