Is my partner an alcoholic when he is drinking 6,7,or 8 big bottles of beer every second night the amount depending on whether he has a vomit in between. After the first 4 he becomes argumentative and I end up sleeping in the spare room. Next morning he says what did I do wrong. I think he needs help, have thought of leaving him but have nowhere to go and don't want to loose our house and everything we have worked hard for over the 14 years we have been together. My first husband was an alcoholic and I didn't think I would end up in the same situation and he says he is not my first husband but he is acting like it. What can I do to try to make him get some kind of help. The doctor told him to cut down to 2 middies as his blood pressure is high and he will either have a stroke or heart attack, didn't deter him.
