It's been my experience, and that of many others, that even trying to shame them into going into rehab is just wasted breath. If they DO happen to go, they'll just end up checking out before treatment is done, or schmooze everyone just to be able to get out. They have to WANT treatment more than anything else - they have to WANT sobriety more than life itself almost, before it works.
So your talking to him would be useless, unless he's already decided he wants to get sober FOR HIMSELF. He can't do it for his daughter, or you or anyone else. This has to be done for HIM. And it doesn't sound like he's at that point yet.
I hope and pray he gets there soon, because he's getting close to possible alcohol poisoning. This is very dangerous. I hope you and your daughter are prepared for the worst. 
Best of luck and prayers are coming your way (and his). God bless. Hugs, Lee
