Husband and drinking

So just wondering if I am being unreasonable with husband and his drinking. He has a tendancy to go all out when he drinks and can binge drink into the next day- usually leaving him feeling like crap for days after. Last time he had a binge drink he was very rude- calling me horrible names etc and basically wanting to end our marriage- this has happened before on his binge sessions. We now have a 2 year old and one on the way so Im very much against binges happening at all. He sometimes just wants a few but can get carried away and end up drinking too much. These binges are few and far between might i add- once every couple months or so but am i being unreasonable in saying that there needs to b an end point on an evening- not just keep going through the next day. It also causes a row if he just wants a few cos im that annoyed that itll end up in a binge session. Aibu that a 2 day bender isnt on? And that with almost 2 young kids theres more 2 life than having a session? Plus hes so noisy when he drinks that it ends up disrupting my sleep- which is already poor with the toddler still being up through the night and the increasing need 2 go to the toilet with being pregnant.

Of course YANBU, it's time for your DH to grow up. If he will insist on having these benders, would it help if he did them away from you and the DC? Perhaps he could stay in a hotel or with a mate if he feels the need to get shit faced, then you won't be on the receiving end of his drunkenness. You should insist that hangover or not, he needs to pull his weight with the DC, and you should get an equal amount of child-free time, once you're happy to leave the new baby.

I wouldn't stand for it, but I know that's easy for me to say.
