advice, please

I am trying to quit drinking, but clearly, my alcoholic husband is not. At the moment, I am not thinking about what to do long-term, so please, no responses with regard to that. Here's my current dilemma:

My husband just called me (I'm at work). I could tell immediately that he has been drinking. I asked; he stated that he has drank a bottle of wine. Then he told me to feel free to stop at the store on the way home to pick up some beer.

I have no desire to drink. I am not worried about me drinking at all.

If I buy something for him, I could 'control' the amount/type of alcohol that he consumes. Meaning I could just get him a six-pack and be done with it.

I could just go straight home and not buy him anything. This will lead to one of two scenarios:

1. He will just go out himself, driving while intoxicated and buying either more beer than I would have or buying hard liquor.

2. He won't buy anything but he will spend the evening making me feel like crap because I didn't get him anything (versus all the times I asked him to get me something and he did).

What would you guys do? I'm already getting worked up over this.
