Hmmmm, so home is the only place he feels comfortable letting out all his frustrations.
Plus he's depressed. Plus he drinks - which is a depressant.
As for the R, I'm gonna place some bets that it's a combo of things - he doesn't feel like R should take work if they're really meant to be (immature, but all the movies tell us so) plus by the time he gets home from work all he wants to do is relax, and working on the R feels like work in his head and therefore he has no energy left to do it.
I wonder if there are ways you can encourage him to do things to work on the R while making them fun / feel like fun to him...
