first of all I need to know how long are you sober?? but just by hand, the only best way to tell him up front that it is costing your guy's marradge, also you can't tell him madly you half to look him in the eye and tell him to please try and understand what you are saying. If he dont want to listen tell him up front that if he does not stop you would have no other choice but to leave him, and when you do so ask him to choose because if he truely loves you he would stop. offer him help you two need to go to a group sessions and talk about it, and ask your self is all this all the none stop drinking that you are seeing is it worth it? you know that you were happy when he wasn't drinking and you now feel that it is going out of control and it is making you miserable you need to show him that. you probably are but after a while when some one hears the same old thing from the same person for a while. they would not listen. but i would like to talk to you more i can help you but i need you to talk to me i am actually good at solving problems . thank you if you have a msn please add me black_magic629@hotmail.com and i can assure you i can help you.

Because the booze is more important to him than you are. He hasn't reached the point where he realises the booze *isn't* important!
Until he understands that the booze is a crutch for something else, it will continue to interfere with your marriage. He may have to literally hit rock bottom (loose you, the job, friends, family, etc) before he quits.
Don't forget, that as an addict, you will never be cured...you are always going to be a recovering addict/alcoholic!

There is really nothing you can do. You can't force someone to stay sober, unless they are under 18. They have to do it on their own.

You can't.Unfortunately he will not change 'till he is ready.Sometimes we have to make a decision that may not be what our hearts want.You have to do for yourself what you know is right.And if you can only do that away from him then that is how it has to be.If he truly wants to be with you then he will follow suit and quit drinking.If not then you can still go on with your life....good luck
