I would left,then and there, advising him to sober up before the drive home.

I would not find this appealing or endearing

I don't know what possesses anyone who sees someone with a drinking problem to bring that person alcohol.

He then after said something to me that really bothered me, so I decided to pack up and leave.
So far, the smartest action I've seen.

I now know that he has suffered from addictions to both drugs and alcohol in the past, and he should be actively seeking treatment.
I can see a lot of things in the 'shoulda' category.

According to your post,he sleeps a lot, anyways

Please help? What can I do?
He's not in any position to make sane decisions, but you are.

I'm genuinely curious: What is so appealing about a boy who doesn't work and sleeps all day? How will that play out when you've been together six months? You clock out of work and head over to whatever crappy room he's renting, or the condemned apartment house he's staying in, and get hammered, until the switch flips again? You've been at work, you might be ready for bed at 1 or 2 in the morning. He didn't roll out of bed until, what, 5:30, 6 pm? He'll just be getting started.

He's not inclined to work, so anything you do that requires money will be done with your money: eating out, going to a movie, seeing a concert, taking a drive in the country, all on your dime.

If you want a relationship limited to drinking and sex, he's probably up for that
