I’ve learned in alcohol drug classes that one of the more common places people go on a first date is a bar. It’s a natural place to get to know somebody. But what happens if they guy you are meeting with instead of having a beer or two, starts to get drunk.

It’s possible that they are nervous and are drinking without thinking. But the other possibility is this person has a serious drinking problem. While you are sipping your first glass of wine, they are on their 3rd beer. And when you decide to order your 2nd glass, they are having shots of tequilla.

Obviously this is a bad sign. If somebody is going to drink like that on your first date, who knows what will happen when you start dating seriously. You might find yourself ending the evening either calling a cab for him or worst case having to take him to the emergency room because he’s passed out. Of course you could recommend an alcohol class, but maybe it’s just a better idea to find somebody who is in such clear need of help.
