Yeah, it seems like he has all the freedom to do whatever he likes without you knowing it, and you are put in a situation that the moment you sneeze in your room, he already knows that. That is absolutely not beneficial for your trust. Is this roommate the same roommate you wrote a rant about a couple of days ago?

The fact that you have a trust issue with drinking and temptation, is understandable. The fact that he makes it a bit too much of a habit only naturally set off a few alarm bells. You make the association : drinking + attractive girls = increased likelihood of cheating. The fact that you have complete trust in your bf, does not change the association.

You can only find out, when you actually live together. Carry on, and you will find out. So simple is life.
Forget the ifs, relax some more, and remain positive. If it is meant to be, it will be.

You don't have to be the perfect girlfriend. Right now he is not the perfect boyfriend to you, and if you do have concerns express them. Be constructive about them, and you will come through.

Never say never. Especially in matters of love.

I have brushed it off saying when he moves down he wont have to drink as much because he will be here ( and he supposedly drink to forget he misses me) but everything is waiting. I have to wait..again...lol
Oh dear. Well, keep a close watch on this. People tend to not change and alcohol can become someone's best friend before the person's realized what's happened. I think it's bogus for anybody to claim he's drinking to forget someone's not around. Pay close attention to what other excuses he comes up with for drinking, if he does.

It seems to me that this guy is drunk whenever he has days off. You are obviously very concerned about it, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it in the first place. 3-4 Days of drunkenness every week is a big deal. And it's not only that, he parties. I don't see that the long distance is the issue here. It's that you didn't really imagine your prince as a lush who enjoys mindless parties every week-end. We all like to party and go bananas, but it's not everyone's life-style, is it?
You love him, but honestly, if you write a list of things you like in a man, you wouldn't really put "a party man" on it, would you? You saw a huge fault ha's got and you're not sure you like it. He turns you off with his behavior.
If you feel like waiting for two more months then wait. If you feel like breaking up then break up. Ask him if he's going to continue with his life style when he moves to your town (given the "fact" that he drinks cuz he misses you; he won't miss you anymore so he should stop drinking?!). If he says that he will stop getting drunk every weekend then you will know what to do when he breaks his promise. You will know that he is making a bunch of excuses just to forget about life and all the obligations life brings. Living with a drunk is a nightmare. I have a feeling that you have a close example of it from your past.
Cheating is not a problem; it's a consequence of an existing problem!
