AITA for refusing to stop drinking even though my boyfriend wants me to

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost a year now.

And it’s been good.

It’s kind of tough recently, but that’s part of where the story begins

This woman admits that she doesn’t drink too much.

I don’t drink often and when I do, it isn’t much.

I only drink every few months when I’m with my family, and it’s usually just one drink, to the point I don’t even get buzzed.

When her grandfather passed, her family made her drink one glass of wine.

Back in January, my grandfather passed.

My family all had a drink in memory, a single glass of wine for me.

The day after he passed, I mentioned to my boyfriend that my family did that.

He had a very strong reaction.

And he freaked out on me and called me over 50 times.

All of which I ignored.

We later talked about how inappropriate him freaking out and calling me about drinking to remember my grandfather the day after he died while I was helping my grandmother process her grief for her husband of over 50 years.

She drank again at a baseball game.

Yesterday, I went to a baseball game with my family.

I got a drink for myself and I mentioned it to him.

He’s been crying at me and making me feel guilty.

He’s telling me it makes him uncomfortable, and I need to stop.

Her boyfriend couldn’t understand her occasional drinking.

I really don’t see an issue with it.

I’m responsible and safe, but he can’t seem to understand that.

For context, he’s never had a sip of alcohol, let alone a drinking problem.

I just feel like my refusal to stop being met with control is sickening.

Her mom thinks he needs to get over himself.

I talked to my mom.

She said he needs to get over himself, which I agree with.

Anyway, AITA?

Her boyfriend’s reaction is pretty extreme. There must be a deeper issue here. Maybe someone in his life was an alcoholic?
