Have you tried discussing drinking with him when you are not upset and he is not buzzed? To me, when a couple has a problem with a difference in values/lifestyle/beliefs it is worth discussing to see if there is a solution that will work for them. Usually that would mean some sort of compromise, not one person telling the other what they should do. If the relationship is good except for the one thing it seems foolish to walk out without trying to solve the problem.
Having said the above, I grew up in a house with an abusive alcoholic father. I would not be comfortable in a relationship with someone who had a drink or two a night, but it would have ended a relationship before we got to the "common law partner" stage.
