When is a reasonable time to ask your partner to stop drinking?

I am 36+5 today and we are going to a BBQ. I told my partner I don’t mind him having 1 or 2 beers but I’m not comfortable with my drinking all night or moving on to spirits. He has drank throughout my whole pregnancy and had his fun. I know that his family and friends will pressure him in to having a drink. Am I being unreasonable by asking him not to drink?

I wouldn’t say unreasonable because If you was to go into labour and he had been drinking, you’d have to get taxis which isn’t convenient x

I think my husband said at 36-37 weeks he will make sure he can still drive so only have 1 or 2 beers. I'm 35 weeks at the moment so not quite yet

Mine stopped when I was 36+2 basically the weekend before I hit 37 weeks as he dosnt drink in the week anyway. He needs to be able to drive us to the hospital plus I don’t want to be in labour and he’s really drunk, he was happy to agree but did get legless on this ‘final hurrah’ as he called it lol x

I’m due July 13th and have asked he doesn’t drink all this month or next. I was expecting to be going in for an induction in 2 weeks but have put that on hold as there are fewer issues and I’m being monitored a lot more now. I just want him to be able to jump in the car to get to hospital at any point if needed. I’m a planner and a bit of a control freak so this whole “she’ll come when she’s ready” stresses me out enough.

I’m 37 weeks tomorrow & it’s my partners last day drinking (his own choice). We’re having a BBQ 😋

My patner stopped when I was 35 weeks .. you never know when you may need to go in you also don't want to be in labour with a drunk birthing partner xx

I’m 35+6 and after this weekend my fiancé knows he’s on a 2 pint limit so that he’s fit to drive x

My husband is 19 and drinks hard liquor every night of the week, this causes a lot of fights between us.

This is my worry, my partner works at a pub and all our friends go there so he stays after work and has a few drinks, I've tried to explain to him he needs to be ready at any point for me to drop but its like talking to a fucking brick wall 😡
