Alcohol in new relationship

1 day ago 4

I (42, f) grew up in a family where my dad never drank beer at home and only on special occasions my parents opened a bottle of wine or prosecco. Apart from that we lived a pretty good life drinking water, tea and similar non alcoholic beverages.

In January I started dating a new guy (42) and most things are going well so far. We take it slow and i realize it takes a lot of time to really get to know him. What makes me think since our first date is that in a bar or restaurant he always orders one or two glasses more than me (of alcohol) no matter the weekday or the occasion. Also when I‘m at his place on a weekday he always drinks at least one bottle of beer. To me this is new. In all my former relationships the guys hardly ever drank any alcohol at home or only if there was visitors or a special occasion.

Apart from that he is a decent guy and he never looked drunk so far.

I don‘t want to restrict him in his own home and still I find it odd and not attractive at all. I could just ask him to drink less but I‘m not sure if that would be me crossing a line way too early?
