Not the standard situation of alcohol abuse, but rather the query of how to deal with a situation where one partner has emotional issues tied to alcohol abuse from childhood, and makes demands on a partner because of this.
In this Episode of The Drink Guy TV, the Bartender and the Life Coach have been asked by a young man who wants to enjoy a successful relationship but is struggling with the demands of his significant other.

So the question posed to us, and the question we pose to you, is…
Is this reasonable?
If the young man in question is respectful, chooses to not drink around his significant other, and only occasionally drinks when out with friends, how should he handle the demands of this otherwise positive relationship?
