Define "drinking problem."
If Dad shows up staggering drunk and intends to put your child into his vehicle and drive away, don't let him have the child (in fact, it's a crime for you to allow your child to be in a situation that endangers him).
Otherwise, you can file a motion for modification and ask the court to order Dad not to consume alcohol while he has the child in his possession (nor eight hours beforehand).
