He is hiding his habit of drinking itself shows that family pressure can work to stop him. Tell him and prove that you people are aware of his habit which he has been hiding from the family and then build up social pressure on him to stop.

I understand your concern about father's drinking. You must be anxious and sometimes feel helpless as you are unable to control his drinking. The first thing you need to know is that drinking is not just a habit but its a disease. Despite the negative physical, psychological and social consequences he is not able to stop. He might be denying or minimising the use, he might have tried to control or stop but eventually fail because the disease of addiction is complex. When he is not intoxicated talk to him and assure him that there is way out. Take an appointment with the psychiatrist and let him assess the severity of the problem. Be prepared for the inpatient admission for detoxification and total rehabilitation program. Medicines, Psychotherapy, Family, and self-help group support helps people to achieve long-term abstinence. Feel free to contact for further details.
