I've cut back. It all depends on what's going on.
- I may grab a beer after work, but usually I don't these days unless there is a Flames game on.
- If I go out for lunch (usually 2 - 4 times a month) I'll have 2 or 3 (or more in the summer when go out for lunch means sit on a patio and smash beers all afternoon and not go back to work)
- Watching the Flames on a week night I limit myself to 4 tall boys to make sure I don't get carried away.
- Weekend nights range from 4 to ?? depending on what I am doing.
- Golfing always have a few.
My wife used to complain when she was my girlfriend and when we first got married, but like I said, I have cut down and she has grown up. As long as I fulfill my duties as a husband and father, and do my job, she is totally cool.
My suggestion is to tell her it's how you blwo off steam, you could be going out and getting all rowdy with the boys, or you can sit at home and have a pint to unwind. As long as you aren't becoming a ###### when you drink or shirking responsibilities I'd tell her to live with it. She'll either grow to accept it or you have a choice to make. I know what mine would me.
