That's impressive. I can't even count how many times I've hung out at bars either with just H or with other people, although I still enjoy it even if I can't drink.
It stems from a few different things, mainly my desire to have that glass of wine at night to relax after DS1 goes to bed and the fact that my H doesn't really control his drinking.. he'll easily drink a bottle a night without realizing it (I did mention that his mother does that every night, right?), especially when his anxiety gets bad. It's easier all around for us to be in this together, especially since I get minimal enjoyment out of being pregnant (I know that's a UO). I'm just lucky he understands that
I have a few friends that also request that their husbands join them in sobriety, so maybe it's just the circles I run in that do this?
An idea is born: H cannot get drunk within two weeks of the due date. He really doesn't go out often, and even less often that he drinks enough to be tipsy much less drunk, but my due date is right at the end of his year (it's academics) and there will be partying. Do not need a non-functional H when labor starts.

This is what we did. Sometime in the month leading up to my due date MH asked if he should stop drinking (he typically has one drink a night to unwind). I told him no, but suggested he make his drinks a bit smaller so he was clear headed for when I went into labor. I told him as long as he was more than ok to drive, him having a drink was fine with me.

This is how I feel. I don't really care if he drinks but closer to my due date he will probably stop altogether just in case. We go out with friends often and I reserve the right to say I'm not being DD tonight. He's fine with this because he can still have a drink or two and drive us home and I don't feel like I'm just along to be the driver. He's been drinking a lot less at home lately and I'm not sure why. Usually he has a beer with dinner and a few drinks on the weekends. But lately he doesn't even really want a beer if we go to dinner. I let him do his own thing. He has a reason I'm sure but I won't press him to explain himself.
Ahh hpnegirl, H rarely has more than one or two drinks when he does drink (whether I'm there or not). If that wasn't the case, things would be different.
