is he drinking too much?

been with my bf for 2 yrs now and we have great relationship. few months ago I become concerned about amount of alcohol he's drinking.
He barely get's drunk but he drinks everyday. It's usually few beers, glass of whisky. Quite often it's a bottle of wine.
He is young - 24 so maybe it's just a stage, as I know most people are in the college or just left, and drink a lot during parties or nights out. I tried to talk to him about it and approached it different ways asking to realize that imho he is drinking too much. He said he will drink less and that he is doing it for me. And for few weeks he drank only 2/3 days a week. I also tried to tell him that it's unhealthy in many ways. But now I'm out of ideas and hate nagging him.

Basically I'm completely lost: is he really drinking too much or am I overreacting? Is it just a phase in his life and I should relax? Or is it a beginning of much serious problem?

It's possible that it's just a phase but if you want to get him out of it, then start doing things in the evenings when he usually drinks.

Get him out and distracted, especially if you can get him health conscious, it should convince him without your intervention that he should cut down on the drink.

no. Its getting in to the habit of daily heavy drinking (more than about 2 drinks), that eventually leads to alcoholism: First you become dependant on it to help you sleep, eventually the idea of a night without drinks feels deprived, before you know it you;re drinking heavily every night...and so on.

If he finds it hard to stop doing then, yeah it's a problem.
