MOST drugs are dangerous with alcohol. When I'm given a prescription and told not to drink, I don't. Not so easy for an alcoholic.

So, for arguments sake - say you're the doctor. Do you prescribe a medication for what the patient presents with or do you withhold it because they're alcoholic? Your husband did not go in for treatment of alcoholism, he went in for dizzyness.

I also think it's time to let go. Do you attend Al-Anon? I became very ill myself with all the worry - until our doctor told ME I was killing myself and save myself. I am glad I listened. The key to my happiness was there, I just had to be humble enough to see it.
