Oh Jake23 I'm sorry to hear this. Not sure I've any words of wisdom to share. Are there any local support options that would let you continue to care for him at home? Maybe talking to your GP would be a start.
sending you love and hugs

perhaps you need to be honest with them and ask them nicely not to bring any alcohol into the house. If they really care then they'll understand.
