We only see him in the summer and over xmas. They do appear to curb their drinking a. Bit when they babysit the kids.

Its just sad that he appears to drink himself into a stuppr everynight.
What is weird is how he can get up early the next morning, have a coffee and seems to be right as rain.

Thanks for all your great advice. We have a few months till xmas. I will reread this advice before the start asking about xmas plans.
From this post, your wife will not support any of the extreme measures. You are down to 2 choices: Live with it or leave.
