You don't happen to live in the Pennsylvania coal regions, do you? Purely sardonic, rhetorical question, really. I don't need to know that, your sitch is just *so* the norm for that area.
I'd say you have a garden variety alcohol-abuser on your hands,if not worse.
When your rent/bills go unpaid due to beer-drinking that's a screaming red flag that there's a problem and it's the drinking, but I'm betting you already know this.
Abdication of personal responsibility and accountability are two more major indicators.
Given everything you've stated here, I suggest you tell this bum to get his sozzled ass in AA, dry out and remain that way or you and your son are history, *then* he can go hang out w/friends, uninmpeded.
Don't make idle threats, don't make excuses for him. Just do it. One chance: Dry-out or we're gone. And make good on it. Good luck!
