My husband is turning into an alcoholic, what can I do?

Question by Al A: My husband is turning into an alcoholic, what can I do?
The stress in our life and marriage has been pretty unbarable. My husband seems to be addictive in nature, he used to smoke, I made him quit, he started drinking caffine in mass amounts (2-4 red bulls a day) and finally he stopped that (although he still drinks too much coke and coffee) now, since he has to work all the time and full time school, he has taken to drinking a lot. He’ll go through over half a huge bottle of rum and at least a six pack of beer in a week. I’ve been trying to tell him he is turning into an alcoholic and should quit now before it gets worse, but he thinks it’s stupid. He’s really really stubborn, he never listens and thinks he has complete control over his body, so addiction to him is just not possible. What can I do to keep him from becoming and alcoholic? He’s drinking more and more each week…
I’ve already talked to him, I do all the time, it just seems to make him do it more! How can I stop him?!
Okay, we are on each others nerves constantly, we are TOO MUCH ALIKE. Neither of us back down. I could lay off him a bit (although I wish he would lay off me!) but, what I’m worried about is that that is not going to make him stop. If he had always drank like this, I wouldn’t be worried, but it’s almost like he is replacing other addictions with this. He started out drinking a few beers a day, then it turned into more and then came the hard liquor, it just seems to be getting worse. I’m worried if I lay off he will slip to a point of no return, where as now he could turn back…
