I would say that yes, your husband is most certainly an alcoholic. I am an alcoholic, the difference is that I know that I have a problem, therefore I quit drinking. When I was very young, 6 & 7 my mom, who has since quit drinking, used to take us, me, my brother, and sister, to the bar with her to the bar. Once we got there, her parenting duties were over; we could do whatever we wanted, go wherever we wanted, she'd come find us after last call and we'd pile into the car and drive home. I was too young to know then, but now, I can only imagine what shape she was in to be driving a car. Not only should he stop doing it ( at the very least, I would reccomend detox in a medical facility), but under no circumstances should he be allowed to take his children, or any children, to the bar with him, never, ever, again. He could not only kill himself, but someone else, or someone elses children, or your children. I would explain this to him, calmly and succinctly so he understands the ground rules. And if he does try to the children with him, I would, even though he is your husband, quite frankly, call the authorities. Quite frankly, I am surprised no one has called DCFS on him. Sorry to be so blunt, but, this has got to stop, now.

    Sounds like he is a alcoholic when he takes his kids in the bars alcoholics do these crazy things remember when me and my brothers were young our dad was a alcoholic to and he would take us to bars with him till our mama found out boy she let him no that he will not take her kids to a bar no more blessed him out.  One time he took us to the airport where we lived and a drunk friend of his took us up in the plane well he let my brother fly it a little and so we landed it and went back home and told our mama she jumped on him like white on rice cussed him out again.  hope this helps.
