My husband is becoming increasingly unsociable

Made plans with my DB/SIL tonight to stay at a cheap hotel after a day out
this summer. We've been invited as guests to a race meeting (not really my scene but was looking forward to it). There's unlimited food and drink and as the venue is 90 minutes away, thought it would be nice to all have complimentary drinks and stay over. My husband doesn't want to. He's offered to drive - he really enjoys a drink and this will be hard for him particularly as it's free - and it won't be the same for him. It's not the money, he gets on well with DB/SIL, he just wants to get home. It gets me down as he never wants to see anyone including family and is happy to stay in drinking and watching TV.
He doesn't talk to me much either! Sorry to go on but it's becoming a steady pattern of him not wanting to do things with other people. He does have a demanding job. Thought I'd mentioned hotel idea but he says I hadn't. Feel
embarrassed telling DB as he'd sourced hotel and can tell they wanted to make a night of it. This is a longish line of him not wanting to mix with people and it's making me resentful and miserable.

Thanks Jamie. DH is presently sticking to a dry run I'm pleased to say. He's lost a bit of weight and seems a bit better. I did ask him about depression and he said he wasn't, but as I mentioned, he doesn't "do" mental health. He did stop drinking after I asked him though so we'll see. Still flares up easily, something I just don't understand.
