There are many levels of severity in bipolar disorder. Have you talked to his psychiatrist? Maybe his meds need time to get back into his system.

A common problem in people with bipolar is that when they feel better, they really do believe they don't need their meds anymore, go off them, get sick, and so on and it's a vicioius cycle.

Mainly, worry about yourself and your children's safety first. You can't make a grown man take his meds, even if it's what's best for him. Also, alcohol is a big no-no, especially with mental illness, although it's a common form of self-medicating.

Very best of luck.
