Worried about girlfriend's alcohol intake

[sdiego21]

I’m worried that my girlfriend has been drinking a lot frequently. I’m not saying that she’s alcoholic but if not stopped, she might go down that path. It all started after her parents divorced. I thought it wouldn’t affect her since she’s not living with them anymore and has not seen them for a while but I was wrong. When her mom called she just broke down and things have never been the same. Her brother’s still out there in some interracial date tour so I can’t really talk to him about his sister’s situation. They talked over the phone but that’s it. I don’t want my girlfriend to spiral down a dark path especially with alcohol involved. I don’t know what to do.

Interracial date tour?

#1- What is an "interracial date tour"?

#2- If she's drinking to excess and it's beginning to concern you and others, it might be time for an intervention. Have you spoken to her about your concerns? Good luck with this.

You need to tell us a bit more about the situation. How long ago did this happen? What is her and your current living situation? How much and how long has she been drinking? Where exactly is the brother?

I would express your concerns with her and be honest and tell her you are worried and don't want to see her ruin her life over her parents problems.
