Re: Husband and alcohol
look at the experts
lol
I don't think one can say for sure what they would do unless they are in that situations because all of factors have to be kept in mind while dealing with it.
1) His reasons for it? I am not saying there can be any valid reason for it but when you figure out why he drinks, that would help you deal with the situation better.
2) Your relationship with your husband overall keeping this aspect aside.
3) How willing is he to change his habbit.
4) How patient you are to help him change this habbit.
Etc, etc.
Re: Husband and alcohol
I think such things should be kept within the confines of one's home, not discussed on discussions boards such as this.
Suggestions to divorce him - are extreme, however if drinking is unacceptable to you personally/religiously, and you feel ashamed/disgusted/furious, try talking to him to change, even talk to his parents/muslim friends.
Re: Husband and alcohol
Pour all his alcohol down the sink and replace it with Coke. Then shrug when he asks why it tastes different
Re: Husband and alcohol
It is called "The mother of all evils" in a hadith. Do we need further elaboration ?
p.s. Google bhai would help is finding the correct reference, am very tired at the moment.

Re: Husband and alcohol
Any anti-social drinker on board?
Re: Husband and alcohol
Did you know that he drank before you married him? Expecting him to change now would be...unfair, if you did.
Re: Husband and alcohol
^ Agree. If you knew what you were getting yourself into, then well.. don't expect much from his end.
From a non-religious view, I don't find social-drinking.. or any drinking for that matter... necessary. Drinking wine occasionally with dinner would be over-looked but other than that, no. Think about it - is your hubs so lame that he needs alcohol/intoxicating substance in order to socialize? When you put drugs and alcohol in that perspective it really puts you off.
Talk to him and see what can be done. Although I'm giving you advice on this matter, as someone else said, don't post such a personal problem on a board. Sort it out with him. Good luck.
Re: Husband and alcohol
I never get this concept of social drinking ?
what does it mean ?
do you drink to get social or get social by drinking ?
One of my girlfriends is married to an Ismaili guy…the dude has a whole wet bar set up in their home. Mostly hard liquor, and some wine bottles. She says it bothers her, but obviously not too much because she had 3 kids with him and they are still married, lol! Whenever we’re invited over there, my hubby gets ticked off, but it’s not our home, so I don’t really care.
I don’t drink, so of course i married someone who shares my same values…the existence of alcohol is a non-issue in my life, it does not bother me if other people do it, that’s between them and their conscience/God. I have no problem going out with
coworkers and being around them drinking alcohol while I sip my
dr pepper or virgin piña colada (yum!).
however…I would never let it cross my threshold into my home! If by some momentary lapse of reason I had married someone who did occasionally take a drink, it would not be allowed in my home or near my kids
And a little off topic, but believe it or not, the first time I had ever been anywhere near alcohol was in Karachi!! I was 15, my sister and i were spending the summer with relatives, and we were invited to a party by the nieces and nephews of the man my sister eventually married. Most of the people there were young, 18-30 and were home for the summer from studying abroad..it was a fabulous set up…they had a basement like a nightclub..complete with disco ball…lol…someone handed me a glass of what I thought was just Coke..errr…it was mixed with what I presume was rum…omg…after one tiny sip my sister and I were so freaked out, did not expect that in Pakistan of all places! 
Re: Husband and alcohol
...I would never marry anyone who drinks period, it sucks and I wouldn’t want to deal with it... yah knows the drill:P
what if he drinks comma or semicolon?
Re: Husband and alcohol
"having the occasional drink or two "
If this is all he does, pour the drink for him. No biggie.
Re: Husband and alcohol
unnecessary and unacceptable. don't know how you can make him break the habit. =\
Re: Husband and alcohol
Introduce him to Lassi . . . its as intoxicating as haram stuff .
Ok now I am craving Lassi 
Re: Husband and alcohol
Why’d you have to say that, now I want it too

Re: Husband and alcohol
What's your opinion on your husband having the occasional drink or two? What would you reply to this (You don't pray 5 times a day or wear a hijab so you're committing sin just as much as me) if he rebutes your reason for disliking him to drink alcohol?
Starting as an occasional drinker means, soon he would end up being a heavy drinker, and if you have kid/s, then i believe, a mother should be worried about her kids, as being around someone who drinks means, the chances are very likely that, the kids too would start drinking once grown-ups.
Re: Husband and alcohol
Not true^^ Know people who have been ocassional drinkers for all their lives...still are to this day.
Re: Husband and alcohol
I agree with NOG. I am occasional light drinker. I don't drink to get drunk or neything like dat. But i can understand for some people this can be very taboo.
