How much is too much drink ??

I think my boyfriend drinks too much, I have mentioned this too him but he just get annoyed and says its perfectly normal to drink as much as he does (he drinks half a litre of vodka a day) am i being paranoid ??

Answers:
in my personal opinion , YES,but you must be careful here, he may not realize he drinks so much or understand what it does to him. if to come on too strong he may drink more, do a little research on this before you approach him, or you might have to make a choice or give him a choice , if he doesn't slow down it will most likely get worse. call your local A.A. for help.

No you are not, that is way too much, and when he is a little more mature he will know that too.
nope you should talk with him
he a an alcoholic and drinks far too much, his health must be very poor, or will be soon
he is an alcoholic. tell him to get help and move on with your life.
if he wants you he will have to change, but he is on a one way path to destruction, it's not a fun ride.
this usually gets worse before it gets better, hope you are not the type who has to find out the hard way.
you can do better. he needs too much work and besides, a person has to want to change, it doesn't sound like he is there yet.
Best Wishes! ;-)
No, it sounds like he is an alcoholic, there is nothing you can do if he doesn't think he has a problem
i dunno, is he russian?
Until he realizes he has a problem and it affects his life negatively, you can't do much. He needs to take that step.
You are certainly not being paranoid.
well, if you are a fellow canadian...it's never too much.! but i think if you act like an a55 and forget what you did while you were drunk..it's too much.
Any more than 2 drinks a day is too much.
He is in denial. Show him on WebMD.
no, you're not being paranoid.. he drinks too much. Was either of his parents an alchoholic? You need to get him help if you love him. He's not gonna ask for it himself until he hits rock bottom. It's a very tricky situation.. especially if he's in denial. Tell him you love him and you're worried about him and that you want to help him.
No but you cannot do anything. He's heading for a long miserable road to alcoholism and I hope he sees he has a problem before it is too late. My advice to you is to get out now. You might save his life and certainly tour sanity. Try Al Anon for a while. It is very enlightening. Do not judge but you have to live your own life
Your boyfriend has a serious drinking problem, and no matter what you say or do, nothing will change until he admits he has a problem and does something about it. It just like having a heroin or cocaine addiction. Don't expect anything to get better until he hits rock bottom. Good luck.
If he does not cut it out, call him your ex-boyfriend. Who wants a life living with an alcoholic - for that is what he is, whether he likes it or not. Half a litre of vodka - and he thinks that's normal. What does he drink when he is having 'a good time'. Take my advice, as an alcoholic (Dry for almost 25 years), break it off with him, it is the only thing that will make him see sense. Otherwise, look forward to the next 25 years as an alcoholic's wife, that is if he should live so long.
If he get desperate for one in the daytime then he is an alcoholic
When you start getting a little silly and feeling numb, you have probably had too much. My limit is two beers or one margarita.
Then, I go home. YES, half a liter of vodka is far too much. This guy needs to get help. If I were you, I would keep my distance. He could hurt someone (car crash, fight,.) one day - maybe you!! Also, getting drunk causes anger after a while.
The personality changes. Start to observe the behavior of someone that gets drunk. You will notice and see exactly what I am telling you. Read articles about MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.)
How much one drinks and what is considered too much varies from culture and country. In America, we call a person that drinks a 1/2 liter of vodka a day a drunk. In Russia, a person that drinks a 1/2 liter of vodka a day is considered not drinking to their full potential and should finish that liter next time.

For me, you drink too much if it impairs your ability to work or interact with your family and friends - which apparently is the case or else you wouldn't be posting this question here. He should maybe go talk to someone. I am not a drinker, but I've been around many drunks and the ability to take care of business should be the litmus test.
drinking alcohol in any form, or even on a daily basis suggests he was either programmed by parents to drink, there is that weakness to give in to drink in his genes, or he is drinking because his peers drink (maybe even his peers tell him it's ok to drink daily). He needs Alcoholics Anonymous. If he doesn't get there, then you go to AA for partners.

His drinking is NOT normal.
your not being paranoid at all he needs help
No, you're not being paranoid. As many people have already said, he won't change until he recognizes that he has a problem, which may take awhile because sometimes you really have to mess up your life before you see it.

If he drinks too much, do not let him drive. You may want to take his car keys before he starts drinking (when he's more reasonable). If he insists on driving, find another way home.

You may want to look for an AL ANON group. It's for friends and family of alcoholics. Often times, friends and family make it harder for the alcolholic to recognize his problem because they cover for him and he does not get to experience the consequences of his drinking.
A picture paints a thousand words! I watched my father turn yellow with jaundice of the liver and it is not a cool sight for a 13 year old.

When a person finally realizes that alcohol is in the poison group and has no medicine available to restore the damage to brain cells and organs than it tells you more about the direction it is going.
Sounds like he has a problem. Contact Al Anon because you need help to help him deal with it
Na. Doesn't sound right.
He isn't using the drink as a way to ease stress is he? That's how it usually starts.
Better watch he doesn't start relying too much on having to have a drink everyday other than once or twice a week.

Has he thought about going to the gym instead to get rid of stress ??
