You dont need to be a
single mom... just continue dating for a while. Try living together and raising the baby together before jumping into anything too soon. Like you said, maybe being engaged for awhile. Atleast long enough to know that you are happy with each other (and not JUST happy with the baby.. happy with EACH OTHER

). If you can put up with him drinking a few beers, then I dont see a huge problem in it. As long as he isn't forceful or hateful while he is drinking and isn't completely wasted all the time. Maybe try getting him to cut back to only a few every other night or something, and then go on from there with trying to get him to quit.
Anyways, good luck!
