My Boyfriend Drinks too much, We Don't Have Enough Money.

I've been with him for just over a year. We met online and he lives hour and a half away from me. We are both 20. I've always known that he drinks most nights, but it's just getting too much now. We are staying at my parents house together for a few weeks and my parents are starting to notice that he drinks every night. We have no money, none of my clothes fit me anymore, and I can't buy any. There's other inexpensive things I want, but I can't have because I know I need to keep the moneu because we always end up with none. I borrow money from my parents and it ends up getting wasted on drink. Its also making me ill, I find it difficult not to drink when other people around me are drinking. I just don't know what to do, when I try and talk to him about it, he gets sad and says he needs it to sleep. I don't know what to do.

@CirqueDeMorgue

I suspect the health problems are mental, rather than physical. In which case, drinking DEFINITELY won't help.
Yes mental health problems

@CharlieG1

In which case, drinking like this is going to be exacerbating those mental health issues isn't it? Aka moving further away from your future goals.
