Is it normal to have 2 beers a day?

Posted 06-16-2010 at 10:45 AM by T-nex
Ok... dunno... I'm really puzzled by my mom.

The short story is: I used her apartment cos she lived with her now ex-bf. A few weeks ago, they broke up and she moved back in here.
I'm ok with it.

Anyway, I noticed that every time we go shopping she buys a six-pack. Also she drinks 2 beers away.

She's been very stressed and sad lately....
The thing is, that some time ago, when my sister lived with her, she reported the same thing.

There seems to be no reason for my mom to drink all that. There are no parties, and no occasions. She just sits outside on the entrance-door-step thingy and smokes and drinks.
She hasn't really mentioned anything about it, and neither have I.

But even during the first week we lived together, I woke up by her handling a whole bag of of empty cans.


I just dunno. I hate the smell of alcoholic breath. And many times she smells like that.
I'm starting to thing her shitty, weird, disgusting e has rubbed off on her with that stuff(he's kind of an alcoholic).

Yea... I dunno. I just wanted to hear an outside opinion. Is this behavior normal? 2 beers a day isn't really that harmful, is it?

Please.

Your description of her sitting on the front stoop drinking and smoking was funny though. So ghetto. So white trash. I love it.

So it's two beers a day every single day? That's...Eh. It's not horrible, but it's not fantastic. What size are the beers? Standard 12oz cans, tall cans, what? Also, what's the alcohol volume? If she's drinking malt liquor, yeah, not so great.

On the other hand, I drink like a bastard and would probably disgust you all.

Well... We live in this weird apartment complex. It isn't anything like a ghetto.
And my mom isn't white trash >: ( *smacks DI*

Anyway they are just standard cans. 5% alcohol... Not a lot.
I just find this behavior weird.
I also don't think drinking a lot of alcohol is a problem(except health wise).... But the reasons for doing so.
And it just seems so weird coming from my mom. She didn't use to do this, and I'm really scared it might develop.

Her ex was even worse. Every time I'd visit them, he'd smoke and drink.. Like drink a whole fucking lot. I'd always hear the sound of opening a can.
Then he'd drink to the point of talking to himself and babbling about really weird stuff.

Like one time, when I spent the nightm I heard him rant in the kitchen at about 4 am about how the whole Aarhus needs to die and no one will ever smile again, just because earlier that day, I had joking argued that people perhaps smile to each other out of obligation. He banged the table and really furiously ranted to himself.

I really don't understand why my mom kept him for so long. But then again, there are probably things about the relationship that I don't understand.

Yea... But all that shit that I've experienced so far really worries me.

She was crying for 3 days straight a week ago and told me to just let her cry and not ask any questions.

Well none of this actually has any relevance I guess. I'm just airing my feelings somewhere.

She's just unwinding a bit. Sounds like she enjoys having a beer. If she drank enough to get drunk every day then I would say that you have a problem.

Food sex? You mean there are people who don't like that?

My dad drinks beer like water, he goes through at least four or five cans a day. But he's always been that way, and he's no lightweight. It takes somewhere in the vicinity of ten beers to get him buzzed.

You're more concerned about your mom's change in behavior, and not necessarily what the behavior is. The only thing a few beers a day will do is slap on the pounds. It's not a healthy habit, but it won't kill her.

Based on what you've told me privately, I think just talking to her now and again and letting her vent will do wonders. If she feels someone cares about her, then she'll feel less burdened.
