We are currently staying with FIL and his girlfriend for a few days at the start of our holiday.
FIL got drunk last night out for dinner, slurring his words and being very loud and repetitive.
Today, they invited some friends over for a BBQ and he was completely plastered by 4pm, falling over, not being able to talk properly, drooping his glass etc.
He has always been like this and his long time girlfriend is at her wits end. He's had some heart problems over the last few years and is on medication and should not really drink more than the occasional glass.
Can I tell him that I really don't like our children seeing him this way?
In fact, we won't come and visit if his behaviour continues?
Or should I just keep my nose out if it?
I should add that sober, he is a lovely, warm, thoughtful, generous man and a fantastic grandad. But he seems to have no control over his drink at all.

AIBU?
To speak to my FIL about his drinking?
