How many times do they need to drink too much for you to call it quits?

I saw it as a bad sign on our first or second date, as she drank too much and her drinking was hard liquor (Martini's) She was drop dead beautiful and I really liked her but the drinking was a problem from the very start, and it ended as I told her I could not be with her drinking. We parted and she called me back several years from Florida, saying she was in a "program" after a drinking car accident that almost killed her young daughter.

Saddest thing I ever heard, and to this day I wish I could have gotten her into a program.

Depends on the length of the relationship. If we had been together for 10 years and she got drunk twice, that would not concern me very much. If we had been dating for 10 days and she got drunk twice, that would be a deal breaker.

Depends on the circumstance. If he's obviously got a drink problem then I'm out of there like a shot, those people will drag you down with them and the drink will always mean more to them than you ever will.

Same if he gets drunk on the wrong occasions like in your picture, but I'd be more forgiving if it were just a once un a while night out with the boys type of thing.

[GeminiDiamond]

When is too much is enough? When they start getting violent? When their dick keeps failing at intimate moments? When you can't hold a coherent conversation with them? When they drink to the point of throwing up? No thanks! I don't mind tipsy often, but get drunk too often and I'm gone, unless they can choose me over the alcohol.

One time would be far more than enough. I would say 1/4 a single time would be too much.

[WindAtMyBack]

If I see her drinking anything, even just one drink, I will be watching her closely. After that, it's not whether she drinks one drink or five, it depends on how she handles it, what she acts like when drinking, and whether she controls her drinking or the drinking controls her.

One alcoholic girlfriend in a lifetime is too many. Two means I didn't learn my lesson. It's not going to happen again.

[MikeTheBartender]

I have learned this lesson the hard way, both in personal experience and from behind the bar. The answer is one. If one time they do something that is completely unacceptable, it is time to call it quits. Or they call alcohol quits if you have been with them a while. If it's less than 6 months dump them asap. You are only prolonging much pain and drama.

I don’t drink and my partner stopped earlier this year. I think if he got sloppy drunk and was acting horribly, I’d let him know. Maybe after 2-3 times where it’s just getting ridiculous, it’s AA meetings or I’m out.

[MrOracle]

I don't drink and I don't date women who drink regularly. 2 or 3 times a year on special occasions is fine, but lots of people can't get through a day, much less a party, without booze, and that means lots of drama and hassle I don't need or want.

[IslaTheWitch]

one is enough... but I wouldn't date a guy I know that overdoses alcohol...

[Viola_456]

I can understand it when it happens Once in a while. In my country we drink a lot, and its normal to drink too much, but i would never tolerate him to do that like every month...

[exitseven]

It depends on what she was loke when she got drunk. If she just wanted to have sex it would not be bad. If she wanted to fight with me all the time I would imagine I would not be around too much longer/.

[Chazmatazz269]

Probably too many. As an alcoholic with a fair bit of sobriety under my belt, it’s almost second nature to try to help. It’s not outside of the realm of possibility that i do so to my own detriment.

[OfMiceandMen]

if they are getting drunk every weekend and/or during the week, I don't think that would work for me. Means they rely on it too much to be happy.

[RavVid]

Drinking is a way of coping with trauma for a lot of people. Numb the mind.

If so they are highly unlikely to ever stop. Or else to go onto something else.

[NathanDavis]

I won't even wait for the first to be done...

mid-way... I'll let them know I am not into getting stupid like that

[DishLady]

Twice. Once might be an accident. Twice is a pattern. Bye bye birdie….

[Wiredone]

I drank too much once when I was younger. After that I rarely drank at all. If I have a beer 4 times a year, that's a lot

[worldscolide]

Just once. I have zero tolerance for that, for drugs, and for smoking.

[AngryCarl]

Good question! My father was tea total. He never drank alcohol. With his temper it's scary to think what he would have been like drunk.

[Darkest-Knight]

I drank heavily, on a daily basis before I could quit.

[Yannae]

More than once a year.

[Dongie]

1,567,987.5 times at least.

[msc545]

Maybe twice at most

[impalabill77]

Five drinks

[coachTanthony]

lol what does that mean

[impalabill77]

I would sat five drinks. But it would take me two times.

[Anonymous]

Depends on the outcome

[Loner111]

Twice.
