Slips are for banana peels, not for drinking.
I can assure you, when I drank again after 4 years clean/sober, it was because I made the conscious choice to pick up that first drink.
Your boyfriend has made the conscious choice to start drinking again.
Alcoholism is a progressive, and often deadly disease.
It affects everyone within its reach.
He's made it clear what he wants to do...drink.
What do you want for your life?
I was also married to an active alcoholic/addict, and he's dead now. He was buried at the tender age of 47.
I'd also recommend the book "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie. Look for Alanon meetings in your area for there you will find face-to-face support from others affected by a loved one's alcoholism.
I hope you continue to post, and know that you are among friends.
