If you can't go without him tonight, plan on going to a meeting another night -- and don't tell him you're going.
Bringing a drunk A to an Al-Anon meeting is not acceptable. It is the one safe haven families of As have.
Oh -- we posted at the same time. Not only would bringing him be a very bad thing for the meeting -- it would also ruin the meeting for YOU. I'm sure he's threatened by the mere thought because he thinks you're gonna go there and badmouth him. But that's not what the meetings are about at all -- they're for YOU. Not about HIM.
I hope you can make it to your first meeting soon -- if not tonight, another night.
