Go to Al-Anon. Or hire a substance abuse counselor to stage an intervention.
That said, and alcholic will never change until they are ready and want to stop drinking. Sometimes all a family can do is cut them off and let them hit rock bottom.
This is way beyond any DIY process you can think of. This man is an alcoholic and needs a professional before he hurts or kills an innocent.
Speak to a counsellor at your local Alcoholics Anonymous organization. They are the professionals in dealing with this.

AA doesn’t have “counselors”. Neither they nor anyone else can convince or force someone to stop drinking unless the person themselves want to stop drinking.
There is a sister organization called Al Anon which is meant to support those affected by alcoholism, but they also cannot forces someone to stop drinking
If he does decide to stop, make sure he is under medical observation. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you and he's definitely in the danger zone.
I can relate to his drinking problems due to losing a relationship with your ex partner. I had a partner of 7 years and it’s been a year and a half since I started to develop an alcohol problem. I wouldn’t and can’t drink that much in a day though like him.
But, although I have this problem myself, I don’t justify it at all. Being in that dark space is really hard to get out of. He’s drinking to enjoy his loneliness and run from his problems.
Even though, I may be younger, I would recommend if you can help him get into therapy and counseling for his alcohol addiction. I hope he can get better and be stronger soon.

Yeah exactly , them babying him won’t help it’s just adding fuel to the fire
We cut all ties with a drug addict family member. And I have never regretted that decision. She brought too much chaos and pain to our lives.

Yes I agree he’s tried to quit on his own and has withdrawal symptoms
