He won't go to AA meetings.. Drinks daily..we can't just have a glass of wine together.. He finishes the whole bottle while I'm still on my first glass. Friends gift us with exotic alcohol from travels and he drinks it while I'm at work.. Bottles empty.
It turns me off and I've told him so. He becomes a drunk idiot. He says there is no problem.. We've fought about it so many times and I've walked out as well.
It's going to end out relationship. I can't make him go to AA meetings.. What else can I do.

There's a group called Alanon for the family & friends of alcoholics. It offers support and ideas:

Welcome to Al-Anon Family Groups

There's really no way you can force him to admit he has a problem. All you can do is take care of your own needs (even if that means leaving him).

Alanon. You can't fix him only he can.
