Hi, I'm 28 years old and I think my girlfriend drinks an excessive amount of beer a day. I read a lot of material on the internet about beer and how useful / harmful it is. I can't judge for sure if I'm getting into it or if my girlfriend has a real problem. We've been together for a year or so and I know he likes to drink. I personally have a problematic pancreas, and I avoid concentrates, drink beer, but rarely. However, I do not think that this makes my assessment subjective. Since I'm a non-smoker ,? I helped stop smoking about half a year ago. He switched to an e-cigarette, but gained a lot of weight. I know he feels uncomfortable, he's 23 after all and that affects his mood ?, as well as mine, of course. He wants to lose weight, but has no will, and makes almost no effort. From there, the fact that he drinks 2 liters (sometimes more, 3-4 liters) comes to me more. We talked about it, and although she agrees that 2l. and more harmful per day, keep doing it! Although we currently live alone, the parents? they have a problem with alcohol and I think she went there too. I do not intend to marry a future alcoholic, please tell me if I can do something and if there is anything to worry about.

According to the World Health Organization, the useful amount of abs. alcohol is 140 ml for women and 210 ml for men per week. In addition, max. 4 days a week, ie there should be at least 3 days a week absolutely clean without a drop of alcohol even beer. In her case, this means about 3 liters per week, at least 3 days without a gram of beer. This is the useful and permissible amount, from then on it is already harmful and there is a risk of alcoholism, especially if it is hereditary. You will not be able to refuse it by force. Rather, you both need to delve into the psyche and find out what the real subconscious reason is to drink. What need is satisfied by alcohol, what problem does it cover up, what does alcohol give it, etc. If you get to the root of the cause, then it will be very easy to give up. There is also literature on the subject. You can also use professional services, but in Bulgaria I am not convinced that there are good specialists who can really help. Even if there are two or three.
