 Really the main question is why does he feel the need to drink so much every night? Is he feeling depressed or anxious about anything?
How about suggesting doing something together a couple of nights a week, taking him away from this little routine he's got himself into..like going swimming or to the gym.
He sounds a though he's using alcohol as a crutch in some way, maybe if you visited to doctor together and discussed his drinking habits, make sure your only doing this for his own health.
firstly try talking, then the change of routine and finally look into discussing it with a professional for your peace of mind and his health.
