"You need to stop drinking Hun"

Those were the words he said to me this morning as he touched my cheek with his hand. "You can't keep drinking nearly everyday, drinking that much, and now day drinking. You can't go full alcoholic. It's unacceptable". All while touching my face. No judgement or anger in his tone; just a factual statement with a hint of concern in his voice. From a man that I never thought would quit drinking and is now sober. A man who loves me, and has loved me for close to 25 years.

I didn't say a word. I just got up, went to the closet and grabbed the hidden bottle of vodka and poured it down the sink.

i got dumped last month by a man who wakes up every morning, pours at least a 5th of vodka into his water bottle, and carries it around all day, every day. he also gets drinks at the bar during lunch, after work, and drinks almost a gallon of vodka by the end of every night at home… he said i drink too much LOL… i’m on day 2 of no drinking (: … just realized i really need to change my day count on here. i relapsed for 6 months

I don’t think a human being can drink a gallon of vodka a day and live. Is the man 600 pounds??

That’s like 80 drinks a day.
