It needs to be his personal choice to quit drinking not your or your just going to come off as controlling. If it's an issue discuss with him your safety concerns with him being drunk around you and the baby. Ultimately it's not about him or you it's about what's best for the baby. If it's best for the baby that he's not in the picture then you have to do what you have to do.

Please try to use proper punctuation. It makes your comments extremely difficult to read otherwise.

If your child's father has a drinking problem he should get help. But if he's having a beer or two a night, it's your issue that you should work through.

Did he just suddenly start drinking?

If not, then why did you decide to have a relationship and a child with someone that you already knew was an alcoholic if you do not approve of it?

Considering this is the person's first post... this could just be made up.

If it is not made up, why did you decide to have a child with someone who I'm guessing had an alcohol problem before you got pregnant by him?

If he's drinking every night to the point of getting drunk, it is an issue.  If he has a single beer, maybe 2, with dinner... not that big of a deal.   You likely aren't going to get him to stop if he has a problem, so tell him, don't expect a change and be prepared to leave.
