Its normal guy behavior for a douche bag you don't have to be an alcoholic to act like this.
From outside the box here's what it looks like: You want to date again and see if things can work out. He doesn't care about dating he wants to get laid. Actually he says he wants things to go back to how they were. Believe him! That means sex at the end of the night when he is tanked.
If you want to feel secure in a sober relationship possibility with this person he has to get sober first. And then, he has to maintain it. I'd say a year of recovery is a decent start to possibly trust he will continue. He hasn't even left the starting line.
There is no "normal" with an active alcoholic.
I think you have your answer.
