Jenny,
I feel for you and the partner of this man. Alcoholism is a family and friend disease. And while the gesture may not have an effect on the man I feel it was good for you. Too often I see family members or friends not do or say anything because they are afraid of upsetting the alcoholic or it is not PC and are left afterwards wondering if they should have. By your gesture you are letting him know it is not okay to drink. It may be his choice to drink but it is also your choice to voice your feelings. As someone who has extensive dealings with alcoholism I support and applaud you. I do hope though his girlfriend see this gesture for the love and careing that was behind it.
