Drinking to relieve pain?!


Question: Drinking to relieve pain!?
Here lately my husband has been consuming alcohol more than he used to!. Now it takes about on average 7 beers before he starts even feeling the "high" you get from drinking!. This scares me because I know that if you have to drink more than 3 drinks to get that "high" then you are on your way to a serious problem!.
When he gets alcohol he will pretty much drink until its gone!. Its not like he will have a drink or two he will do his best to finish them all off, then expect to be able to get more the next day!. It seems like since he has turned 21, Oct 21 he has had a drink EVERYDAY now! When we go to social gatherings where there is alcohol he will drink ridiculous amounts of alcohol!. The only problem is he is GREAT at controlling his alcohol around other people, so sometimes I really don't think much about it!. Once we get home, that is another story!. It seems like once his foot lands in the front door he is on his way to pass out!
I have told him that his drinking is getting out of control and that I want him to stop but it seems like I am just talking to a wall!
I am 13 weeks pregnant and I know that I am more emotional than usual, but it seems like he has started being VERY mean to me!. Emotionally I feel like I have a good grip on my emotions still, but I really do feel that here lately he has become very abusive towards me!. I am worried that it might be the alcohol doing this!. Normally he was really sweet and we NEVER argued or fought, but now it seems like a weekly occurrence!.
Someone please help me out and let me know what is going on and maybe what I can do to help him!. I love him and I want him to be around for our baby!Www@Answer-Health@Com
