Angry His Family or Alcohol, why can't he choose.

Ok so I don't have a problem w/ my husband drinking every now and then. I drink a few myself here and there. Only when we go out to dinner or out to a bar, which is not very often. He on the other hand can sit at home and drink from 3 to 12 beers a day. He usually does this when certain friends come around. Which has been atleast 4-6 days a week lately. I talked to him once about it and he informed me that I knew he liked to drink before we got married and he doesn't do it like he use to. I let him know that it was all fine and dandy then but now we have a 3 1/2yr old to take care of. He should come first not the alcohol. He just got pissed and yelled about how he would do anything for me and our son. After a day w/ out drinking he then had 1 or 2 for a couple of days and now it is still going on. It got worse when he and his friend have been watching a movie in the garage that all kinds of cursing and things a 3 yr old should not see or hear. When our son kept going out there he would yell that he needed to get out and go play. He only wanted his attention and he diserves that. My son refused to go to bed w/ out his dad so his dad let him stay up until 11pm on a school night (preschool). I was pissed and we had words but then again the next night he tried the same thing I threw a fit and he just got mad at me again. He wanted to let him stay up w/ him again and I took my son to bed around 10:30pm to put him to sleep. My husband just got pissed and tried telling me that he was fine and I know that he chooses us and would do anything for us. But that's not true if he can't slow down and take responsibilty for his child. He is being immature and stupid. Am I wrong for this? I don't think so, I am to the point I am going to pack my **** to show I am serious. He needs to put our son first and the right way. It is not responsible letting a child stay up that late and then sending him to school to me miserable. He takes my son fishing to try and make up the time. But all he does there is have a few beers and then what. He could easily fall into the water and drown, by then if he is too busy drinking he would even know it until it's too late. I am tired of the lying and the sneeking around w/ drinking. I catch him all the time and he will push it to the side saying it is someone elses. He does the same thing w/ cigarettes!
