He can't rationalize his way out of what is messing up his life and yours and the children!
Fact is, your husband is an alcoholic and he must go to AA and follow that programme on a daily basis if he doesn't want to jeopardise his marriage.
You might drive him to his first meeting and stay with him as his support and then join Al Anon yourself and find out how you can live with this massive anomaly in the lives of all four of you!

I'm new today to this site but have been suffering from some depression, for a number of years now. I'm 32 years old have been married for 12 years
and have two beautiful healthy boys, 5 years and 19 month. My husband suffers from alcoholism. He tells me he's an alcoholic but blames it's on his
addictive personality. He is not physically abusive in any way. He does however say things that are hurtful or what i think to be inappropriate
for a situation. When I talk to him about this I feel like I am nagging him, or so he makes me believe so. I constantly feel guilty for wanting to
change his drinking habits, and all that goes with it. I felt guilty making him go to counselling, and asking him to cut back on his drinking. Which has
now gone back right to what it was before. When I think of leaving or making him leave until he decides what is important to him, I feel
guilty for that too! I am simply tired of feeling guilty, tired, sad and relying on meds to control my depression.
