I to undercut what you are saying but 2 hard liquor drinks everyday is not really a heavy drinkers.. he probably felt some withdrawls after each one of his binged drinkings..

I think everyone is different. Some people have withdrawls some don't.

I use to drink. And when I drink to much I didn't feel good the next day, and all I wanted to do was eat. But when I stopped drinking and got through the first day of not eating everything in site. I did not have any withdrawls..

I thik the bad withdrwls come from drinking 4-5-6 drinks everyday.. But like I said everyone is different..

It doesn't sound like 2 drinks made of hard liquor a day are a problem. Binges do happen and withdrawal is not necessarily a requirement. My husband and I both saw that we were abusing alcohol. He would drink 4 rum and cokes pretty much every day and he quit, no problems, no withdrawal. He hasn't had any alcohol to drink in 3 years. I ,however, went in the opposite direction and continued to drink and I would binge pretty much everyday (easily drinking a huge bottle of wine or a bottle of vodka) for three years and I had withdrawal for 3-4 days when I quit drinking almost 4 months ago. What exactly is your situation and how big of a guy is your husband? Has he lost work because of drinking? Has he been physically or emotionally abusive to you because of his drinking? What do you consider a HUGE binge? Is that having 6 drinks or is he constantly drinking on those days? Or are you uncomfortable with the fact that he drinks anything period? Do you drink alcohol or are you suffering from an addiction in which case he is not helping by drinking? Either way, from what you said, his alcohol intake doesn't sound high enough to produce severe withdrawal symptoms like shakes, sweats, hallucinations or nausea. But everyone is different.

Okay, I thought about my question and the facts and here it goes. My husband does not just drink two drinks of hard liquor a day, by two drinks I mean I catch him standing over the sink slamming an 8 ounce glass of whiskey without mixing or chasing and I find empty bottle EVERYWHERE and when he binges he will drink an entire fifth of hard liquor for 5 or 6 days. Is he abusive, VERY both physically and emotionally, that is why we are not living together. I am TOTALLY embarrassed but I only knew him for three months before we married and then once he moved in with me and my two daughters he was COMPLETELY different and it has been one NIGHTMARE after another. I agreed to see him and help him with his problems and so far this being day three no symptoms of withdrawl, that is so strange to me! The situation gets worse because I am positive he is bipolar and drinks because he thinks he is managing his symptoms. Yes, he has been prescribed medication and after two or three days refuses to take it. Of course, I find out his horrible destructive past over the past year and I guess I'm just trying to help him........am I fighting an endless battle?

There must be a reason you married this person, marriage is not something you just throw away. No one is perfect and everyone has faults, I would suggest you get help and work things out.

i almost have to say yes, you are probably fighting a losing battle. if he has issues being abusive, and he is a heavy drinker, there really isn't anything you can do about it sadly you can stand by his side, and cheer him on, but you don't have to tolerate abuse along the way i've been in a few abusive relationships because i felt like i didn't deserve any better. it's really hard as well to marry someone in a short amount of time. take it from me, i married my husband a month i believe after we got together nothing to ashamed of though i really hope all works out for you on this, and i'll check back to see if you've responded as well hang in there, and remember, don't allow abuse or anything while your husband is going through this it's not your fault and he has to sort through his past by himself with a professional someone who is trained to deal with peoples problems, it would weigh you down too much hope this helped

It really depends on what he cares for. Drinking or you.
