My response:

It's unfortunate, but unless he's "pulled over" for drinking and driving, or drinking while boating, there's not much you can do. In order to file for an Order to Show Cause, or for a Temporary Restraining Order, you need the requisite, first hand, proof. Mere hearsay is not enough. You need witnesses who can testify that they saw and/or smelled him drinking alcohol to the point of intoxication or impairment while driving.

Without such proof, there's not much you can do.
