Tell him you love him very much and that you are concerned about his drinking. Ask him if there is anything the both of you can do about it. Expect this to upset him. Find out why he thinks he is drinking.

Lorna Crozier's mother copes with her husband's drinking by bottling up her emotions and keeping her feelings to herself. She remains silent and defers to her husband's actions to maintain peace within the family. She focuses on performing her duties and caring for her children despite the challenges presented by her husband's drinking.

To me, it doesn't seem like he has a problem if he still possesses those traits. Perhaps tell him to cut back for health reasons if it's excessive.
You should work quickly once you find out your husband is having a drinking problem. The longer it goes on the harder it will be to recover and you risk violence entering your marriage.
This is something he has to want to do for himself. You can't change a loved one.
i wondered this myself since both my husband and his sister-in-law eschewed drinking water and died of the disease within a year of one another.
Any discussion might begin with the approach that drinking too much is not being a "bad person" - approach as if the person is sick and needs help. Most drinkers always have denial of their problem, and the goal is to get them to recognize themselves as having a problem. For some, this comes easily, and others will pursue drinking into the gates of hell or death before they admit that they have a problem. Good luck.
Excessive jealousy is not limited by mere gender issues.
Okay, from a man's perspective. The best way to approach a man about anything is direct and non-judgemental. A man respsonds to his wife (or significant other) when he believes they care for and respect him. Start with a reassurance that you love him. Mention a few things that validate your claim that he is a good man. Then just come irght out with it. "Honey I am concerned for you" Let him know that your observations are your opinion and that you don't want it to interefere with the life you had hope to live together for a long time. Ask him how he feels about it and validate his answer. Give him specific examples of how his drinking has caused others pain (big or small). If he is a good man as you say then he will listen to reason and consider what yhou have to say.
Your husband may be to embarrassed to approach said co-worker and discourage her, so you should trust your husband to make good decisions.
Check into food intolerances. My husband called me a "furnace" because of the excessive heat off of my body. Last January I learnt I had a caffeine intolerance. When I eliminated all caffeine sources from my diet... that excessive heat & countless other health problems were gone.
