 :shock: 
I think I might get liver disease just reading this. If he won’t go to Al Anon then you should, for yourself.[/quote]

DP, just clarifying -- not to be pedantic, I promise! but because people without experience of this might not realize the very important difference:

Al-Anon is for family members and loved ones of alcoholics. NOT for alcoholics.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is for the alcoholics themselves.

OP's DH should not go to Al-Anon but OP should. Immediately, after she makes the call to get her DH medical help. The DH sounds as if he truly needs medical intervention to detox, possibly followed by an inpatient addiction program. The level of consumption OP describes sounds like it's far too great for him just to go to AA and nothing else, at this point, but later he may need to start AA. First he needs to dry out. One to two bottles a night, even if it weren't every single night, is gravely serious drinking and he needs medical supervision to stop or he may become extremely ill.[/quote]
