You have no control over what your boyfriend does in regards to drinking, or not drinking for that matter.
If he wants to drink, he will. It sounds to me like he wants to. Almost everyone on this forum with an addiction to alcohol or drugs was convinced at one point or another that they could control their consumption.
This makes your boyfriend no different than any other alcoholic here. He has to learn his lesson the hard way.
You can only control what you do. So, what are you going to do if you bf takes that plunge and starts drinking and it gets out of hand?
