what u need to think about is do u love him enough to keep him ? ,, if so ask him what he loves more alcholl or you ? if you dont want him just leave him and his alchol addiction behind and look to the future ,, if he puts u down he doesent care about you as much as you want him too ,, i have had 3 relationships and i am 15 my old boyfriends were 2 years older then me at the time and they were alchollics ,, just trust me if u love him u need to tell him to stop the alchool ,, but if he doesent just leave him eaven if its the hardest thing you wont reget it

i really hope this helps

[?]BitterSweetFinale;[?] agony auntI hope this helps, or somewhat does.. Well, my parents are separated, my father lives about 15 minutes away from us. The reason for the separation; alcohol. They have been separated ever since I was born, so figure 15 years. He drinks alcohol every night, he has about 6 cans if not more. My mother couldn't handle the constant fights, and verbal abuse.. Sometimes it actual turned into physical arguments, and he went to jail a few times. To avoid that, you need to have space. Having space eliminates the fighting, trust me, he'll end up feeling bad and apologize, and maybe cut down on the alcohol. Maybe if you even show that you're pissed off with his drinking he then might end up quitting. If the space doesn't work, then maybe you should have a referral for rehab, he may be hesitant at first but try to explain why, and you're just doing it for his sake and yours.. If he can't handle that than he's not worth it, and you should try to move on.
