My husband tends to drink more during the holidays. Everyone sees it but him. He doesn't do it except on weekends or basically the whole last 5 days from the day before Thanksgiving until last night when he had a few beers during a couple football games watching with family. I'm not really ok with this. He's had no problems with it but I don't want it turning into a problem. He's also usually very easy going when he drinks but he really made a fool of himself on Friday night. He calls it another life story but I was embarrassed.
I don't think it's a good idea to celebrate the holidays with booze and I don't want him doing it. I don't mind if he does it once in a while like most off the year but in the winter he steps it up and I worry it's going to become more of a crutch.

I'm not really drinking much more than the rest of the year. She just sees it more because we are together more. She doesn't drink at all so drinking anything to her is a lot of drinking. On an average night out I will have 4 beers over the whole night.
I drink a little more in the winter because of the weather. I don't get outside as much. I'd rather be outside but there's only so much tv and internet you can do before you're bored. Around here, there really isn't much to do in the winter and I hate the cold so it makes me warmer and numb to the weather.
But like she said - I have never had a problem with it nor will I ever. I do it because it's fun sometimes but I don't let it spill over into my life. And the friday night thing she mentioned she was embarrassed about was 4 couples and us with a mini party and 4 of us did the cinnamon challenge where you try to swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon. It's impossible but we all tried and all threw it up. I wasn't the only one and it's not like everyone was pointing and laughing at me specifically. We were all having fun and that was one of the things we did. She just sat there like a stick in the mud because she's the only one who didn't drink. It's good though because I always have a dedicated driver.
I'd see a problem with it and I'd stop but telling me to stop just because we have different beliefs about it is wrong. I am not sitting here complaining on how much she spends or eats or how bad it is for her health how much weight she's put on in the past 3 years because if I would she'd cry, get mad, and go tell everyone I was an asshole. And I don't want to because she seems to be happy with the way she is so I'm ok with it. I may not agree with it but I won't harp to her about it. I wish she would do the same with me.
