You're not as stupid as they are. If you're at the point where you're peeing on clothes in the middle of the night, you shouldn't be drinking anyway.

Not really. If he was, OP probably would've mentioned that somewhere. Just because you get hammered occasionally doesn't mean your an alcoholic.

Err.... You don't understand how alcoholism works, do you? Binge alcoholism is a type of alcoholism where the person doesn't usually drink, but when they do, they do so in excess to the degree that it is harmful to their body or otherwise dangerous. OP's husband, who apparently has a history of getting "smashed" and also did so despite promising he wouldn't, fits the profile of a binge drinker. The other main type is the type of alcoholic who drink alcohol in smaller amounts in a sitting, but drink it more often. These types of people tend to have the urge to drink during certain activities or times of the day. There are also alcoholics who combine symptoms and traits of the two. Think before you spread misinformation.

However, the fact that he said he wasn't going to get hammered and then proceeded to get so wasted that he peed all over the bedroom indicates that he has little control over his drinking behavior which is a sign of alcoholism.

Exactly it always shocks me how people can't tell what there limit is.
