I didn't start drinking until I turned 30 an then I only did it socially. Lately, I do it when I go out with friends and 3 is my limit and those outings are few and far between. At home, I realize that I look forward to drinking after a long day of work but mostly bc I associate it with a good time. I associate going to happy hour with my hubby and drinking with having a good time. But, that gets expensive so we limit those outings to weekly ones. Drinking at home doesn't have the same effect so a bottle of wine will spoil so I don't buy them. I should add that my hubby doesn't drink a drop so that helps. Even though my sisters and hubby don't drink but I do, I have never wrestled with this question of when is drinking too much probably bc I'm surrounded by male alcoholics so I know whT that looks like. If I put saving money over drinking then I know I'm fine. I think that if you are worried, and it's very proactive of you to be, you should address those concerns. Maybe reach out to your hubby, who seems to appreciate drinking and discuss If you both should tryicutting back together, it will be more effective.
