" I just really don't like his attitude to pretend, as if he's absolutely unable to change a few things like...stop drinking!! I mean, he sees it as a problem himself, he knows, that's what ruined almost everything in his life and still he pretends as if thats just a natural reaction to everything. "

If you talk to him he reveales at one point that he picked up the drink during the war to get some relieve from all the horrors he had to do and experience and then couldn't get rid of it after returning home. If you kill the tree spirit he does finally swear to his daughter that he will never drink again and wanders off to find someone who can help his wife.

Anyways I suggest you google alcoholism. You don't just "stop drinking" when you have it bad.
