Dotsie:
I would agree completely. One would think he would be sober if meeting a woman he likes and respects, and in the middle of the night? That is dangerous for a single woman. Cin, is this the fist time he has been drinking in front of you? Does he make it a habit? If so, I would take Dotsie's advice and run, not walk, in the other direction. Alcohol indeed hides problems, most often very major. If your interest is longterm, that is a no-bo. Also, when you say 'friends' you seem to be saying women he has had sex with? Does he have a reputation for this? That is another bad sign for any relationship longer than one or two nights, most a week. Women are trying to move away from that....
