If that's possible, maybe you could set a boundary that you won't spend time with him when he's drunk? I'm thinking of your peace of mind, not a way to punish him for drinking or force him to stop. It's not a permanent solution, but it might give you some relief.
I’ve tried ignoring him, I’ve tried telling him to F off and leave me be, i can’t tell if he can’t remember five minutes later or just doesn’t care. I’ve left and gone for walks from time to time but I don’t really have anywhere else to go afterwards. I live in a really small town where everything closes early and don’t have tons of friends nearby.
