Wow. Time out. Big red flag giz.
Two things. First thing an alcoholic does is turn the tables. You've got the problem, not him.
Secondly, to echo Gabe's comments, it's a technicolor dream to think he will respect any limit you impose on him. On the contrary, he may drink more. Any attempts by my wife to control the amount I ingested resulted in more drinking.
Welcome to SoberRecovery giz. I hope you get a grasp of what is going on here and the dynamics involved in your relationship with an alcoholic. It is, in many respects, a crash course in harsh reality.
Good luck to you both.
