I often find myself heading for the booze when I’m having trouble sleeping as well, it’s just important not to let a habit destroy your health or your peace of mind. My suggestion, based on knowing little about you, is to take up an evening activity like reading and switch to herbal tea, even just a few nights a week. It sounds like you’re just bored, and drinking is something to do. He wasn’t an “alcoholic,” it just became what he did in the evenings when there wasn’t anything else to do. I knew someone who drank a pint of Everclear several nights per week and, when he eventually found himself in the hospital for problems related to drinking, he cut back to what most people would consider an average amount. There are heavy drinkers who often find zero trouble cutting back/stopping and there are people who don’t drink except for the weekends who find the urge to binge overwhelming. That difference often comes down to a simple question: could you stop? Only you really know the answer to that. In my experience there is an enormous difference between even what I’d consider a “really heavy drinker” and an alcoholic. The word “alcoholic” gets tossed around a lot, especially by people who are light/non-drinkers. I’m a psychotherapist and here is my take. It’s a massive difference even if you don’t feel it. Amazing what those sleep / fitness trackers show about quality of sleep after having even 1 or 2 drinks vs none.
it can also severely affect sleeping patterns. If you drink alcohol it stays in your system and affects your chemical balances the next day, making you more reactive, anxious, negative, etc. I believe that society as a whole has normalized alcoholism and binge drinking leading to unhealthy habits. CDC recommends 14 or less drinks a week for me and 7 for women. I’d be more concerned about the alcohol dependency and establishing the baseline for alcoholism. But not so much it’ll wreck your diet if you exercise daily. That’s a lot of calories to drink - equal to 5 12oz soda cans. But the wine affects her mood and well being.Ĭalorie wise - a bottle of red is around 625 calories. She “only” drinks 2-3 glasses of wine a day, then maybe once a week she’ll have more. My dad is 2 years sober, my mom qualifies as a functioning alcoholic that needs treatment. I grew up in a drinking-heavy upper middle class suburb in the Midwest with a lot of functioning alcoholics.
