who drinks on a daily basis, doesn't get drunk or out of control or anything, just has a drink or two on a daily basis?

one is an alcoholic, so your question would be would you date an alcoholic? I probably wouldn't...

If they don't get drunk then it's not even an issue. She's not a drunk, she just likes the taste of certain drinks.

Plus, a glass of red wine every day is actually good for you :smile:

It depends on what they are drinking. I might want one too. Of course if you go towards their drink to take a sip and they bite your hand off. Back away my friend, back away...laugh

I dated someone like that and I found myself drinking more than usual-it can be contagious. The person is an alcoholic. The bigger question is what do you want from the relationship, a life long companion or someone to help pass the time away. If the answer is a life long companion then move on........I'm sure by the time that person is in there late 40's early 50's they will have health problems.

So you all are saying that you wouldn't date someone who has a beer after a long day at work?

Damn.

It's already starting to get out of hand. What do you do when it increases?

I did once, but I didn't like it. I definitely didn't like the smell and taste of the beer when we kissed. Big put off for me.

I just got out of a relationship (dumped) where the other party took part in the spirits (among other things) rather constantly, and I'd have to say that I wouldn't do that again. If nothing else, it's an indication of something else going on.

So I'd have to say that I'd prefer dating someone who was a light drinker instead.

If they are living healthy, productive lives, harming nothing/no one else, and there is no family history of substance abuse, sure, why not....as long as it REALLY is JUST one or two (a small glass of wine with dinner, for example). It also depends on how big those drinks are and what they are, though. Also, are they able not to drink? Or, does it become an issue if they have to stop for a day or more? Do they drink alone? Are they hiding it from others? Or, do they drink socially? flowerforyou
