His age is in your favour. You can restrict his money, make sure there's nothing in the house for him to drink and forbid him from going out. What does he say when sober? What has happened with the police?

I don't give him money anymore because ov the drinking and the police have arrested him about 5 times in last fee month and every time he been drunk x he has been sent to youth afending team a few times and done community service x he says he sorry when he sober and then just won't talk about it x

How is he obtaining alcohol? Where is the money from? What shop I serving him?

Does he want help?

I think you need to accept it is way too big to handle on your own. Does he feel secure at home? Does he have routine? Is he going to school? What is his attendance like? Because to me it sounds like the drinking is the tip of the iceberg maybe?
