<human>: I started seeing a new guy a few weeks ago and I really like him. He's actually exactly what I've been looking for. Hes open and communicates well, lots of mutual interests and friends, driven, passionate, etc. 

I sometimes look for faults in people when I first start seeing them (bad habit), so not sure if this is a cause for concern or not. He's a fairly heavy drinker from what I've seen so far. We went out last night and he had 8 or so drinks over the course of the night. He's a pretty tall/big guy so I'm not sure how much that affects your tolerance. I had 4 drinks and I'm pretty small which resulted in me being fairly tipsy. 

Anyway I know he drinks maybe 4-5 days a week to varying degrees. We've hungout without alcohol being involved so That's not an issue. He works in the food/beverage industry so I think he's around it so often that it's become a part of his routine. 

The last guy I dated drank heavily but he was 29 so I gave him less leeway. I haven't dated anyone my age in a while so this hasn't come up. I know 23 is that weird in between stage where people are still binge drinking and partying often. 

I talked with my dad about it and he said he drank heavily until he was at least 30 (he's 73 and still has a drink or 2 everyday) and said it shouldn't be a huge concern. 

I'm fine with his behavior when he's drunk as he's an upbeat drunk and I still like the bar scene for the most part. I guess I'm worried that maybe it would be up in the air later down the line when it's less acceptable to be partying/more of an alcoholic. He seems like a responsible guy aside from this and again, I really like him. Is this a ~yellow flag? Should I proceed cautiously or just let it go for now and have fun?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: new guy I'm seeing drinks heavily. Don't know if it's age/lifestyle or could be problematic down the line
