He says he wont stop drinking for nothing not to help me or anything and i dont know what else to do
He drinks are liquior like kentucky whiskey, beer, vodka just about anything

and no one can get him to get help he says it makes him happy

Video tape him and show it back to him and your mom, and let them see what you have to live with

Every community has a group called Al-Anon. Its for families of alcoholics and concerned people. My mom and I went before my dad quit drinking. It really is a good place to go. You don't have to do anything. You can just sit and listen. You will find you are not alone and get some really good ideas on what to do. You might find out how much you two have become co-dependents and enablers and actually help him think his drinking is ok without you even knowing it. You have to find a way where he will suffer his own consequences alone instead of the two of you. Then and only then will he realize what negative things can, will and do happen.
Please, walk in to Al-Anon and just listen. They are there to help.
