How do you even bring it up?

Every time I think about saying something about the drinking, I end up not doing it because I know it will turn into an argument.

I don’t want to make things worse, but I also can’t just ignore it. Has anyone found a way to talk about it that doesn’t escalate?

I found it helped to bring it up at a calmer time rather than when things were already tense.

Even then it wasn’t easy, but it made it less likely to turn into an argument straight away.
