hi Jessica, you might need to decide how much you dislike his drinking, because persuading an A to become sober can be a soul destroying effort. From what you say it does sound like he has a problem, especially the bit about him hanging out to start drinking for the day.
If you have a really loving relationship he might try for your sake, but don't count on it. Alcoholism is about habit, coping and a chemical addiction. It takes real conviction to stop for the rest of your life, and he will have to stop altogether.
