You could start him on a strict beer allowance or something,
Limiting how many he could drink per day,
Until he's healthier and happier, until he meets your expectations.
Or you could just lock him in the basement. . .
D'oh!

Hi Sugar Plum. If he will not get help, you need to help yourself. Contact Al-Anon and start going to meetings. There will be extremely helpful. Also, do not neglect your own physical and mental health...join a gym, start working out...the endorphins released will help you out mentally and you will feel better. Also, looking great doesn't hurt either.
I wish you all the best. I really do. And some of these people with the smart azz answers to a serious question, SHAME ON YOU!!!!

You should let him know that he needs to get help with his problem. Because being on the road is no excuse to drink in the way he does. Let him know that it is effecting the family life. Let him know you will support him all the way as long as he get some help to stop the drinking.

I'm dealing with that myself.
No matter how many threats you make, or plead for them to join AA or go to rehab, they will go when they are ready.
You can argue about the magnitude of health risks, how his drinking is affecting you, etc, and it just goes in one ear and out the other.
Basically, if you are unhappy and are sick and tired of the negative crap that surrounds the life of an alcoholic, you have to make a heart breaking decision about what is best for you.

He really has to be the one to get help for his excessive drinking. You will not be able to really change his behaviour. He is going to have to acknowledge he has a problem before he will seek the help he needs, to overcome it. But the first step may have to be you sitting down with him and tell him, it may not be a problem for him right now, but it is for you and ask him if he is willing to make an effort to cut back. Goodluck!

You have to go to the roots, why he´s drinking, I notice you love him, then try to find the main cause then, try to improve this situation.

He's the one who is going to have to want to slow down or quit. You can only try and convince him to do so.

If you can't beat him, join him. Drink yourself silly with him.
