Alcohol consumption concernI sympathise with your concern for your partner's health but speaking personally, I would not consider a tea-totaller to be boyfriend/ why material simply because I too enjoy wine and alcohol. I can say that I have made a conscious effort to reduce my imbibing because if you have a taste for the stuff (probably genetic) it can get a hold on some of us (and I'm not casting aspersions on your partner here). I am twice widowed and live alone and wine can certainly become something to look forward to when you're in front of the tv and feel like treating yourself.....The other issue is weight gain of course and this may be more of a health problem than the actual alcohol because the fatter you are, the less affected you are by the intoxicants. I belong to a monthly Wine appreciation group-informal not Jancis Robinson types-and perhaps you could find something similar for your partner to enjoy. Many of the wineshop chains (Majestic, Tanners, etc) hold regular tasting events and you could go along and ask for a soft drink youself. They would be delighted because your partner might buy....
