Do you know what you plan to do? Sounds like a pretty difficult situation, my father though not an alcoholic was somewhat similar and he refused treatment which is one of the main reasons why I harbor animosity towards him.
Everyone has different thresholds, different degrees of faith in others to change, so I think it's never just black and white on how to proceed.
Developing good hobbies might help in the short term, but think first to what interests you, rather than what is acceptable to him. Your wants and needs are important!
