And they are telling me to not upset him???
Yet you don't enable him at all, it seems.

So...just out of curiosity...

Assuming he drinks (which, based on your description of the situation and my experience with my alcoholic self and the literally hundreds of other alcoholics I've met and dealt with, is all but guaranteed), are you truly ready to follow through with throwing him out? For how long? What sort of conditions are there for him to return? How willh CPS view the destabalization of the home this way? How will this affect you financially?

Will it really make you feel any better? Or will you still be angry, and just not have a local target for it?
