to dread going on holiday because of my partner's drinking

He says it's my issue because I am a recovering alcoholic, but I am fine with friends drinking around me. It's the levels he drinks at that makes me feel uneasy - as if I never go to bed with the person I started the evening with. I don't know if he's right and I am just being too controlling. And his line is always "it's your issue, not mine and no-one else has ever made me feel uncomfortable about drinking".

Welcome to MN OP. I was married to an alcoholic and he wasn't anything like you describe your partner. Obviously personalities are different but your partner just doesn't sound very nice. Two things can be true at the same time. He is an alcoholic and he is a complete twat.
