Wow! Sorry I didn't come back to this thread sooner. I didn't realize it had gained some momentum.
Just a quick update and more later: we talked, said he was fine watching the kids that day, was shocked that I said I would leave him if it happens again (or telling him not to come back here if he does that again) and everything has been fine since.
I think part of the issue is we used to get out a lot and he especially misses those times. And I'm not necessarily talking about drinking. So when he gets a chance to go out, he over does it. Maybe he doesn't know his limits anymore, when it comes to drinking.
I totally sympathize with those of you watching your kids when you are sick, but I think this is different b/c he had a choice to drink so much and chose to drink so much it made him sick.
I think I will be taking the advice about finding backup if he's going to go out on a night before he has to watch the kids. Or I should make him do that.
