Sorry for a wee hijack, Tipper, but I just wanted to thank peaceful-spirit. My W just moved out after 2 weeks back and I found peaceful's words supportive.
And Tipper, I'm sorry you find yourself where you're at. Drinking is a problem - I've had to deal with it myself. He's not willing to admit to himself that he has a problem. Peaceful is right, he needs to fix himself. Make sure you detach enough from him to protect your own emotional space. You can do that and still love him and show him that love.
